Dylan Sprayberry will be joining the cast of Teen Wolf in the role of the recently announced Liam.
MTV announced the casting this evening via their official Twitter account:
ATTN: We're SO excited to announce that @DSprayberry will join the cast of #TeenWolf for Season 4 as Liam, a new freshman to Beacon Hills…

Previous information about Liam reads, “A new freshman at Beacon Hills will be stirring up trouble. Or maybe we should say trouble will be looking for the handsome and cocky Liam, who has a big heart despite his bravado. Too bad he’s totally not going to be prepared for the supernatural storm he’s about to enter.”
You may actually recognize the 16-year-old actor despite his youth, as he has already worked on some fairly large projects. In 2012, he appeared on Glee in the episode “Big Brother” as Young Cooper Anderson. Then, in 2013, he portrayed 13-year-old Clark Kent in Man of Steel.
Having started acting in 2007, Sprayberry has a strong list of credits, and we’re sure that he’ll fit right in on the set of Teen Wolf season 4. Our main question at this point is what kind of impact could his character have on our heroes next season, and if he’ll end up becoming a supernatural entity himself!
But, unfortunately, season 4 of Teen Wolf isn’t here quite yet. First we have to get through the rest of season 3! Episode 17 will air tonight at 10 p.m. on MTV. It’s titled “Silverfinger,” and it sounds like the mystery of what’s going on with the trio will be deepening even further. Catch up on everything you need to know for tonight’s episode here, and come back at 11 p.m. for our recap and discussion post!
