Jeff Davis Q&A 2013

Will Lydia’s immunity be important in season 3?
 Not at the moment.
 
Is Lydia going to have any special storylines coming up? :3
 Hello! We think the storyline for this season is pretty special actually. You learn more about Lydia then ever.
 
Will there be completely new opening credits for the new season?
 They will be a little different yes.
 
should we expect new members in Derek’s pack
 I think the numbers may be diminishing haha
 
Jeff, during an interview you mentioned that now that you know about Sterek, it would be fun to see how it would affect your writing. Did something like that happened already? Did you came across a scene and stopped to think about it? Did it influence the way you write the scenes with Stiles and Derek?
 It did make me wonder about certain scenes for these first few scripts. I would not say it has affected the storytelling, though. There has been a long plan in place for certain characters. The path deviates sometimes but the destination remains the same.
 
Jeff first of all thank you for giving us such an amazing show as teenwolf, second of all is Peter Hale going to be part of Derek’s pack or he’s gonna leave Derek and join the alphas pack? and also a little bit of Sterek this season please?. Greetings from Latin America, We love you.
 Peter is part of Derek’s pack. They are a very close family. You will definitely have scenes between Derek and Stiles.
 
Are we going to get more of the ladies this season kicking butt?
 Hells yeah.
 
will we know more about Peter past in the flashback episode?
 Yes indeed! And it is a very dark past.
 
I’m at that stage where I want to know the nitty gritty details. We know that Matt went to the Lahey residence to do something with a Spiderman comic. Can we get a confirmation that he used to be friends with Isaac, then? Or was he trading comics with members of the swim team? Also, where was Isaac during the whole drowning fiasco?
 They were friends as kids and drifted apart later on.
 
will be there somebody who get the bite in this season? a new werewolf in this way?
 Yes. But not in the way you might expect.
 
Just wanna say that I love you Jeff and I hope to someday meet you and the cast of Teen Wolf.. Too bad I live in Canada.. Anyway my question is : Will we ever learn more about Scott’s father? Love you!
 Yes, expect to learn about him later in the season.
 
Hi Jeff Thanks for giving us, like, the best show ever . With the whole bromance triangle and Isaac kind of replacing Stiles as Scott’s BFF, I was just wondering, will we still get Stiles and Scott bro time? Thanks.
 Yes, very much. He is not replacing Stiles. No one can replace Stiles!
 
I really like Sheriff Stilinski and Melissa McCall, are we going to see more of them in s03? greetings from venezuela. <3
 Absolutely!
 
Hey Jeff! I know that you are constrained by MTV broadcast standards, but who in your mind has the biggest potty mouth in Beacon Hills?
 I suspect that Isaac has a bit of a foul mouth when uncensored.
 
How many new characters will be introduced on season 3? :3
 Enough to broaden the story, but not enough to take away from our main characters.
 
Hi Jeff. does Stiles have all of his werewolf contacts named officially in his phone? or does he give them nicknames for stealth purposes?
 I suspect he may have a code.
 
Why are you giving Lydia a new love interest so soon after Jackson?
 Don’t you want her to be happy???
 
Is there ever a chance for a Teen Wolf Musical episode?
 Unlikely at the moment. Buffy did it far too well.
 
Derek will be transformed into a full alpha wolf shape?
 When can afford that level of CGI maybe. How about when we do the Teen Wolf movie?
 
Dear Jeff, are we going to see more of Coach Finstock this season? Because we need more Coach Finstock Jeff. He’s our cupcake Jeff. Jeff.
 Yes, of course. There’s always room for more Coach.
 
Hey, Jeff, it was awesome having you and Tyler at NYCC last year. Is it possible there will be another Teen Wolf panel at NYCC this year?
 Always possible!
 
So Jeff, is there one flashback with Derek doing his tattoo on s3, true or false?
 False
 
I know you probably get a lot of Sterek questions and might not even answer this ask. My question is about Sterek, but more about will they ever become friends? Start trusting each other, be acquaintances, keep saving each other from danger?
 They become definite allies this season. There are many changes in store for Derek.
 
I would be really happy to know what you think about it. So… Stiles is a character really complex, original & very close to me (and many other teens).He is so human. I mean… I am one of those people who study the very nature of people and personalities, when I write I have to mold a well-rounded character, true and unique to itself. Stiles is the one closest to the viewer the series, so it’s easy see our reflect in him. Soooo… is our hero going to be happy? xD Don’t kill meeeeeeee!
 Is Stiles going to be happy? Maybe when the show is over. But for now, we need conflict!
 
“Lunatic” was one of my all time favorite episodes. Will we ever see Scott struggle with his supernatural instincts again (or even come close to it), especially with he and Allison broken up?
 Yes indeed.
 
Hi Jeff! I was wondering if you could explain anything about how the werewolf gene works in the Teen Wolf universe to settle my curiosity. Can a born wolf have a human parent or a turned parent, or do they both have to be born wolves? Is the werewolf gene dominant or recessive?
 We stay away from talk of genetics usually. I like to keep things in the world of the mystical rather than the scientific.
 
Will you be introducing any other mythical creatures in this season or any other seasons?
 Let’s just say we’re very interested in perusing the pages of the Bestiary.
 
QUESTION FOR JEFF: Will we find out the full story of Mrs. Stilinski this season?
 You may need to be patient. But you will know eventually.
 
Could you say something about Boyd’s and Isaac’s role in the next season?
 Both Boyd and Isaac face very difficult challenges. Especially in their allegiance to Derek.
 
Hi Jeff. Thank you for making the time to answer our questions. I’m very excited for season 3. Could you maybe tell us a little more about the flashbacks? Is there a possibility that any of the characters will cross paths in these moments?
 They will indeed cross paths. In ways that deeply affect the story.
 
Which episode of season 3 was the most fun to write so far?
 I just finished the flashback episode actually and I have to say it was pretty fun exploring a different Beacon Hills and writing a very different Derek Hale.
 
Which of the characters can shake it on the dance floor, and which ones should really just spare everyone the pain and keep it on the sidelines?
 Stiles can shake it. Derek can slow dance. Scott might need to find some rhythm. Isaac won’t go near a dance floor. Lydia is classically trained. Allison is good but a little uncomfortable. Stilinski would surprise you with his grace. And Peter could beat them all.
 
Are there characters in your world that you consider irredeemable?
 Gerard.
 
Does anything special have to go into a werewolf getting a tattoo to override their healing process? How about piercings? Are we overthinking this? We’re totally overthinking this, aren’t we.
 This question is answered in the first episode of season 3.
 
Can we look forward to learning more about the mythical/evolutionary story of the origin of werewolves? Or will it remain a (delicious) mystery?
 Expect some interesting answers from the flashback episode.
 
Is it true the Alpha pack has betas?
 No.
 
Is there a title for episode 3×05? all the episodes up to 8 have had the titled released but that one. Also: you’re the best Jeff, pls.
 “Frayed”
 
does dannys last name really mean something to do with the moon? has this been a spoiler from the start?
 Yes it does.
 
Would killing Peter have cured Scott? Or did Derek lie to Scott to try and get him to help?
 Killing Peter would never have been an option for Scott.
 
Do you have a general outline of the season before you start writing each episode? How much of the outline changes as you go through the individual episodes?
 We know the complete story before we begin writing any of the episodes. This time we even know the very last scene of 312.
 
Will we be seeing more of Sassy Uncle Peter this season?
 Of course! You’ll see him at his sassiest.
 
Did Derek study at Beacon Hills?
 He went to the very same school in fact.
 

Est-ce que l'immunité de Lydia joue un rôle important dans la saison 3?
Pas pour le moment.

Lydia va t'elle avoir des histoires spéciales à venir? : 3
Bonjour! le scénario de cette saison est assez spécial en fait. Vous en apprendrez plus sur Lydia que jamais.

Y aura t'il un nouveau générique pour la nouvelle saison?
Il sera un peu différent oui.

devrions-nous voir de nouveaux membres dans le pack de Derek
Je pense que le nombre de membres peut se réduire haha.

Jeff, lors d'une interview vous avez dit que maintenant que vous savez à propos de Sterek, il serait amusant de voir comment ça pourrait affecter votre écriture. Quelque chose comme ça s'est déjà produite? Avez-vous trouvé un interêt à y penser? Est ce que ça a  influencé votre façon d'écrire les scènes avec Derek et Stiles?
 ça m'a fait m'interroger sur certaines scènes des scripts des premières années. Je ne dirais pas que cela a affecté la narration, cependant. Il ya eu un plan long à mettre en place pour certains personnages. Le chemin s'écarte parfois, mais la destination reste la même.

Jeff tout d'abord je vous remercie de nous avoir donné une série si étonnante que teenwolf, en second lieu est ce que Peter Hale va faire partie de la meute de Derek ou va t'il laisser Derek et rejoindre les alphas? Aurons nous peu de Sterek cette saison s'il vous plaît?. Salutations de l'Amérique latine, nous vous aimons.
Peter fait partie de la meute de Derek. Ils sont une famille très unie. Vous aurez certainement des scènes entre Derek et Stiles.
