Posey’s a Teen (Wolf) Sensation in His MTV Show’s Latest Clip

He’s seen his star rise in Hollywood after setting hearts aflutter as the leader of the pack in MTV’s Teen Wolf… And now Tyler Posey’s back for another run on the hit drama.

To build excitement for the show’s highly anticipated season featuring the 20-year-old half-Mexican American actor, MTV has released the first 10 minutes of the premiere episode. And, you can expect to see more forbidden love and a new addition to the pack – or possibly two.

Tyler Posey

In the new clip, Lydia (Holland Roden) is still in the hospital while Jackson (Colton Haynes) appears shirtless and recovering from a familiar-looking bite. Will he be the next to join the pack? Missing from the action is Derek (Tyler Hoechlin), who will undoubtedly come back into play as the new werewolf – or is it wolves? – are officially revealed.

On the relationship front: Stiles (Dylan O’Brien) appears to still be pining after Lydia, while Scott (Posey) and Alison (Crystal Reed) continue their Romeo and Juliet love affair in secret.

The new season of Teen Wolf is scheduled to start on Sunday June 6 at 11 p.m. ET/PT following the MTV Movie Awards.

Garcia’s Finishing School For Boys Novel Headed to MTV

He’s already seen his novels adapted into a feature films like Matchstick Men and Repo Man… But Eric Garcia could soon see one of his popular works brought to life as a television series.

MTV has placed a pilot order for the Miami-born writer’s Cassandra French’s Finishing School For Boys, a drama based on Garcia’s chick-lit satire novel of the same name. The author wrote the script for the small screen drama, which is being described as another Heathers.

Eric Garcia

The series—executive produced by Garcia and actress Krysten Ritter—centers on Cassie French, a 22-year-old overachiever who lands her dream job as a lawyer for a Hollywood studio but can’t find a guy ready for a real, mature relationship. After the latest disappointment, she locks a guy up in her basement in order to train him to become the perfect gentleman.

Cassandra French's Finishing School for Boys

This is the latest scripted pilot order for MTV, which has been aggressively expanding its slate of scripted series. The network has Teen Wolf and Awkward set to return this summer, and another freshman series, I Just Want My Pants Back, looking good for renewal with solid ratings.

Garcia is currently writing Wheel Of Time for Universal and The Prize Of Peril for Sony.

A Shirtless New Year’s Eve for Posey?

Tyler Posey isn’t afraid to lose his shirt when it comes to making his next TV appearance a smash…

Tyler Posey

In the latest promo for MTV’s NYE in NYC 2012 special, the 20-year-old part-Mexican Teen Wolf star, who will co-host the festivities, teases potential viewers with a topless notion:

“I hear if there’s a full moon, a certain shirtless werewolf may run through Times Square naked,” vows Posey while doing push-ups in the clip for the television special, which will include appearances by Selena Gomez, J. Cole, Jason Derulo and Mac Miller. Demi Lovato will serve as Posey’s co-host.

When someone off-camera tells him there won’t actually be a full moon on December 31, he quickly says, “Oh, he’ll probably take off his shirt anyway. I hear he’s been doing lot of push-ups lately.”

MTV’s NYE in NYC 2012 special will air live from Times Square this Saturday, December 31 at 11 pm ET.
