UPN is developing a drama series loosely based on the 1985 Michael J. Fox feature Teen Wolf, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The network is angling for a Buffy the Vampire Slayer-esque vehicle about a college student who discovers that he's a werewolf, the trade paper reported. UPN and producer Warner Brothers Television are reportedly looking to depart from the comedic bent of the original feature and emphasize the fantasy elements and black humor.
Warner Brothers acquired the rights to use the Teen Wolf title from MGM, which owns the original feature. UPN has given a script commitment to the project, which will be helmed by veteran TV director Terry Hughes (Friends, 3rd Rock From the Sun) and scribe Ron Milbauer (Idle Hands), the trade paper reported.
