Development
Teen Wolf Executive Producer Jeff Davis announced during a panel at San Deigo Comic Con 2013 that Season 3(b) would focus on Japanese folklore.


 * "We're heading into a new mythology based on the Kitsune myth, which some people might know a little bit about," he shared. "It is a very, very fascinating Japanese shapeshifter myth about the were-fox and the trickster spirit."
