Hot on the heels that it will remake Skins, now MTV has ordered a series pilot of Michael J. Fox’s 1985 movie Teen Wolf.

Fox starred as a teenager who discovers he is a werewolf with basketballing prowess. The MTV version will be reworked by Criminal Minds creator Jeff Davis, set in high school and include a romantic plot line.

“It has a fresh take and is very different from the original,” said MTV’s Liz Gateley.

“It has more of an American Werewolf in Paris feel to it (not London?). It’s a dramatic thriller with two best friends in the centre who provide a great comedy element: They are two very relatable characters on the outer circles of popular cliques.”

The UK’s Being Human also featured a werewolf character, who roomed with a vampire and a ghost.

ABC and Fox are also developing series based on St. Elmo’s Fire and Heathers respectively.
