Today, Teen Wolf executive producer Jeff Davis sat down on Tumblr to answer questions about season 3, our favorite characters, and himself. Here’s a recap!

Davis’ Q&A was quite lengthy and in-depth. These are just the highlights – the parts we found to be the most important or the answers that we thought gave us some new information. If you’d like to read the entire Q&A, head on over to the official Teen Wolf Tumblr.

All about Jeff:

A nice portion of the questions from fans consisted of inquiries about Davis and his writing process, and it was so wonderful to get to hear from him again after his absence from social media to finish up season 3.

@thecharmingswashbuckler: Jeff, first of all you are amazing, what is your favorite place in the world? If you could travel to any era, past or future, where would you go?

I have two favorite places. One is my house in Hollywood which I just bought. The other is the Teen Wolf set where I come every day and work with people I absolutely love. I’d definitely travel to the future to see what Apple would have come up with next.

@sammymc: Jeff, what is your favorite character to write for?

I love writing for all of the characters, but I have a soft spot for Peter, because he can be such a cynical, honest voice. It’s fun to be bad.

@shalomgardengnome: My question is what was your favorite episode?!?!

I can’t say I have a favorite, but I will say that last season Raving was a huge highlight. I thought that episode really came together.

All about our favorite characters:

Scott:

@austingabe: Hi, Jeff. My question is, will we learn anything about Scott’s father this season? Or will it be a longer wait?

Possibly in the second half of the third season. We’re still debating it.

Lydia:

@the-amazing-peterparker: Okay so I don’t know if you’ll read this or not but might as well try! I’m so excited for season 3! My question for Jeff Davis would be is what is Lydia’s role going to be in the new season? Is she going to continue to play a crucial role in the show, and are people going to finally start letting her in on things and tell her everything that’s going on? She’s definitely my favorite character, and I’d love to get to see her play a bigger role next season and just be totally awesome and badass. :D

More crucial than ever. And at the start of the season she knows everything.

@ponfarrisforwerewolves: Is there a character who has gone a direction you did not expect or brought forth a dynamic that surprised you?

Lydia for sure. She was something of a fluid character at the beginning and then just seemed to grow on her own.

Peter:

@inevitablecollision: My question for Jeff, and I don’t know if this hits spoiler territory or not, is Peter now Derek’s beta? Or is he an omega now? Or something different, something more unique? I just realized I didn’t know the answer to this the other day and it’s driving me a bit crazy! If you can give me an answer I would really appreciate it! Even if it’s to tell me it’s spoiler territory cause at least I’d know I’m going to find out! Thanks!

He is essentially part of Derek’s pack and now a Beta.

@infatuationsaremydomain: Thanks for answering our questions, Jeff. Are any or several of the Teen Wolf characters inspired by other fictional characters or characters from classic stories?

Yes, actually. Peter is based loosely on Iago from Othello.

Team Human:

@chaosmagic: I think it would be great if Allison, Lydia, and Stiles became best friends and formed a sort of “Team Human.” They could complain to each other about the werewolves in their lives. What are the chances of this happening Jeff?

They grow much closer in the new season and have numerous episodes where they essentially “team up.”

@jensenavengers: Will Mama McCall get more used to the idea that her son is a mythical creature now?

Not only used to it, but she’s going to help in unexpected ways.

@cara-delasagna: Do you think Stiles will ever get any sort of supernatural-type power?

Stiles is more of a Perseus to me. He needs to be given supernatural weapons to survive. Although Perseus was half God.

All about season 3:

@lovatochriss: Are there gonna be some new creatures in this season? :D

There will be a new central mystery. Whether it’s human or supernatural you’ll have to wait to find out.

@finduilasclln: Where does Isaac live since his Dad died? Who has custody of him?

Answered in the first episode of season 3.

@larry-hystereks: Since lacrosse is gone and cross country is a go, my question is how short will those running shorts be?

Well, it is Teen Wolf… :)

@castiellery: Hi Jeff! I’m wondering – do you think Peter’s viciousness, especially in s1 but also his moral ambiguity as well as his sort of ambiguous personal agenda in s2 is something that has always been part of who Peter is, or do you think that it’s a result of the Hale fire and the (presumably enormous) effect it had on his psyche?

You will learn more about this in episode 308.

@asshales: Hi Jeff, I really have to know – do we learn a bit more about Boyd this season?

A lot more. Especially about his family.

@hungrylikethewolfie: Laura Hale is my favorite character that we never really got to see. Can we ever look forward to seeing more of her, in flashbacks if nothing else?

Yep.

@prettypopfun: Do you have any plans to include a nerd or geek female character?

Yes indeed. But possibly not until the second half of season 3.

@visionsandrevisions: So it’s clear you love giving your characters the most tragic back stories and making us all cry. Have you ever had an idea for a storyline that was too dark to do on a teen show or got vetoed for some reason?

Actually I expected some push back from episode 306 which is called “Motel California” but didn’t get any. And it’s one of our darkest yet.

@allisimpsonfashion: Why does the show only air in the summer?

That may be changing soon. But sooner is a great time for the network and our audience to tune in.

@huntersnwolves: Can someone AT LEAST punch Harris this season please?

Something similar may actually happen.

@keepcalmandlistentoowlcity: Will we ever get an answer for why some wolves turn full wolf and others are like Scott and only half turn? Will their ever be a werewolf on the show that turns full animal wolf?

Yes you will. In a specific episode actually.

@karijn-j: Derek’s tattoo and the Alpha Pack symbol looks very alike, is there a deeper meaning to it or it’s just a design coincidence?

Definitely a deeper meaning.

All about…other things:

@lost-in-her-world: At this point do you know if there will be a season 4 for Teen Wolf?

If I survive season 3, quite possibly yes.

@wolfbeater: Could the Teen Wolf novel, On Fire, be considered canon?

Not necessarily.

What it all means:

It means…season 3 of Teen Wolf is getting closer and closer! Earlier today we learned that the first episode will premiere on Monday, June 3. And we’ve got quite a few things to look forward to. More Boyd! Harris getting a smackdown! Boys in short shorts!

Don’t forget to keep up with all the Teen Wolf news right here on Hypable. We’ve also got a podcast solely dedicated to the show in which we’re currently rehashing old episodes and going over season 3 news. Once June 3 rolls around, you can expect a weekly recounting of the latest episode of our favorite show!
