Teen Wolf Series to Launch at MIPCOM

LOS ANGELES: MGM Worldwide Television’s new TV version of the hit ‘80s movie Teen Wolf will make its debut with 12 one-hour episodes at MIPCOM.

The story follows a young high-school sophomore who has always been slightly socially awkward. After he gets bitten by a wolf one night, he obtains super-human powers that lead him to become the star player on the lacrosse team and to gain massive popularity. The teen thriller will also feature a forbidden, romantic love story at its core.

The series is a co-production between MGM and MTV, and is scheduled to make its U.S. debut on MTV in early 2011.
