A few picture posts of late have some Teen Wolf fans wondering aloud whether Colton Haynes’ character of Kanima/Jackson Whittemore would be making a return in the upcoming Season Four. Not right now, but maybe sometime soon.
One photo has Holland Roden snuggling with her ex- faux beau on the set during a recent taping:
… while the other has Tyler Hoechlin mugging it up with his former cast mate on the set, a rare moment of in-frame levity between these two characters…
Tyler tweeted, “Look who I found on the #TeenWolf set…” with his pic. Holland, who plays Lydia, Whittemore’s ex-girlfriend, tweeted with her photo: “Finally @coltonlhaynes & I are on the same soil!! Always and forever love this man. Thanks for the work visit.”
Though Katima/Whittemore hasn’t died like a handful of other Teen Wolf characters were made to bid adieu at the end of last season , official word from MTV is that Haynes’ recent shift to being the main character’s protege, Roy Harper, on the show Arrow is a permanent one .
That’s not to say a return to Beacon Hills will never be in the cards, though, since really: Whittemore’s merely moved to London and is still very much available for future Teen Wolf plot twists. Plus, MTV’s disavowal reeks of intrigue: “Right now in the Teen Wolf universe,” Whittemore is far too busy “as an expat making a name for himself in London” to make an appearance this season. And then, in the very last sentence of the same statement, MTV asks fans to “tell us what you think of Colton’s return…”
And of course to urge fans to catch the new season when it starts at 10 p.m. Monday, June 23, on MTV.
Another Teen Wolf, Jill Wagner, recently teased of her return this season. But that’s the only character so far revealed to be returning.
A lot’s going on. Last season on Teen Wolf , a new nemesis called The Benefactor emerged and Allison Argent was eliminated as yet another school year of high-tension high school drama awaited.
Spoiler ahead, from Zap2It, which goes so far as to promise lots of bloodsport:
“Still healing from tragic losses, Scott, Stiles, Lydia and Kira return to a new semester of school with more human worries than supernatural, while also trying to help their new friend, Malia, integrate back into society. But Kate Argent’s surprising resurrection brings a new threat to Beacon Hills along with the emergence of another mysterious enemy known simply as The Benefactor.”
