'Teen Wolf' reboot coming to MTV June 5

In 1985, Michael J. Fox starred in Teen Wolf, playing a highschool student who found himself transforming into a werewolf due to hereditary lycanthropy. The movie spawned a TV cartoon series and a sequel (Teen Wolf Too).
Now Teen Wolf is being rebooted as a live-action series on MTV. The network has opted for an edgier feel than the original movie, hoping to attract fans of The Lost Boys and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
A three-minute trailer has been released; the series itself is to premier June 5, after the MTV Movie Awards.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. A million times 'No'.
*urinates on MTV*
Probably hoping to attract "Team Jacob" Twilight fans, actually. ~_~
Sounds like Twilight all over again.
Hated the idea at first, because I feared they were going to take characters from the Teen Wolf movies but have them played by new actors.
I feel better since I see no mention of a Scott Howard nor a Todd Howard being in the new planned series.
Probably won't watch the series, seems too likely to have paper-thin writing. And already so much else to read, watch, listen to, etc.
(Scott Howard was played by Michael J Fox in the first Teen Wolf.)
(Todd Howard was played by Jason Bateman in Teen Wolf Too.)
