Here's some good news for the cast of Teen Wolf. The show is such a hit (and has gotten better with each episode) that MTV smartly picked up the series for a second season. I will admit I wasn't quite fond of the show in the beginning, but thankfully I stuck it out a little longer. After episode three is when the pace picked up a bit (it also didn't hurt that there was never a shortage of shirtless characters on the show - especially from Colton Haynes's Jackson character - how you doo-wah?). I just hope they give the gay character on the show a much larger role next season because two cameos where Stiles is asking if he finds him hot is just no cutting it. Read the official announcement below:
MTV announced today the pick-up of a second season of its critically acclaimed hit series "Teen Wolf." The sophomore season of MTV's young, sexy reinvention of the classic werewolf tale will return with 12 all new one-hour episodes in 2012.
"We're incredibly proud of this show. Executive producer Jeff Davis has brought an exciting, cinematic story to life with a breakout young cast who our audience has wildly embraced," said David Janollari, Head of MTV Programming. "Picking up 'Teen Wolf' for a second season marks another step towards the further diversification of our schedule, with this big, bold, entertaining scripted series."

In next week's episode, the stakes couldn't be higher, as Stiles must help Scott face his second full moon as a werewolf, while at the same time, his romance with Allison is unraveling , and Derek is on the run from the sheriff, wanted for murder, on Monday, July 18 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.
