'Teen Wolf' howls on Living

Tyler Posey is Teen Wolf

Sky are revamping their recently-acquired channel Living in 2011, and part of its new lineup will be MTV's adaptation of '80s cult movie Teen Wolf. The new horror-comedy series, which has a pilot directed by Russell Mulcahy (Highlander), is scheduled to premiere in the US early next year.

Teen Wolf will again concern a high school teenager (Tyler Posey) who comes to realize he's part of a werewolf dynasty, and uses his supernatural abilities to improve his popularity. The original movie starred Michael J. Fox as the basketball-playing lycanthrope, spawning a cartoon series and sequel (starring Jason Bateman in an early role).
