The series was written by Jeff Davis, creator of Criminal Minds, with the pilot directed by Australian Russell Mulcahy.

When Scott McCall is convinced by his best friend, Stiles, to join a search in the woods for a missing body, something comes out of the darkness to take a bite out of his side. As strange abilities begin to take affect the next day, Scott meets the beautiful new girl in town, Allison, whose family secrets further complicate his life.

It begins 9:30pm Monday July 4th.

  1. I’ve seen about 4 eps here in LA. Think vampire diaries but with werewolves. Not sure that the main channel is the right place. Probably belongs on GO!

  2. Are they kidding? Its on a cable network in the states struggling to bring in over 3 million viewers- so naturally 7 thinks it’ll be a perfect fit for a slot in primetime on the top television network?… Come on…

    By episode 3 it’ll be slipped to 7Mate.

  3. serious timeslot clash, hope they show a repeat or move it, or all the channels suddenly start running on time. it will directly clash with being human and deadwood, which is possible for me but not when you factor in the overlap clash with offspring, supernatural and secret diary of a call girl. I only have 3 tuners between 2 devices, this would be much easier to manage on a wednesday or thursday.

  4. @ Craig

    It’s Channel Seven and a genre show on a Monday. There’s The Event and Flash Forward or whatever it was called. They never go well for the past two years at least. I don’t know if there were other examples but they immediately come to mind. Also Teen Wolf looks like it should be a secondary channel show as long as they choose a sensible time. Monday has Eleven genre shows however so does Thursday.

    I’ll admit I can’t watch Air Crash Investigations on Monday either. I could maybe on Tuesday or Wednesday although I don’t normally mind sticking with SBS or ABC as long as they don’t go overboard with electronic graffiti.

  5. Not really relevant to this thread, but since the show was mentioned…I watched the first nine episodes of the American version of Being Human yesterday…and it was bloody fantastic!!

    Watch this show if you’re a fan of vampire/supernatural series like Buffy, Angel, Moonlight, The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, etc…chances are you’ll like it!

  11. David, whatever happened to the Teenwolf movie that was scheduled for a friday night a few weeks ago, did it get rescheduled? I was keen to see that again after all these years.

  12. If this is going to be like Twilight – all hot bods and angst – then no thanks. I like my porn where they actually “get it on”.

  15. Wonder if 7’s debut time and date for Teen Wolf has something to do with the fact that it is exactly the same time that fellow supernatural remake the US Being Human makes its Australian TV debut on Eleven.

  17. Don’t know why they didn’t just put this on 7Mate. Seems like it’s a good fit. Guess they need to fill the main channel somehow. Though can’t help but think it will eventually find it’s way on Mate on way or another

  20. I wonder how long before it ends up on Ch 73? I’m thinking The Event and other similar shows. Plus isn’t there a slight clash with Being Human on Eleven. I could be wrong I’ll admit.
