NOTES FROM THE CREATOR:  Argent will not just focus on Allison. As it will focus on Allison, it will also focus on the Hunter line and how it all came to be, so there could be some flashbacks to the early days of New Orleans and even back to France. We'll also discover new characters and a whole new plot that derives away from Teen Wolf itself. It will be a bit more darker and adult as now Allison and Co, no longer have High School and parents to rely on. The first season is what I like to call the Transition season. It will wrap up Allison's story from Teen Wolf, while introducing the new story that will set up both next season and become a good stand alone series on it's own.The series will also go deeper into the state BEYOND Bardo. We will see who controls everything after death and what even happens after that. Also the Immortals are a new take on Vampires. Yes they will still drink blood, but they will be a bit different from the vampires we all know and sometimes love. Hope you all enjoy, would love to hear some feedback, it may or may not be pushed forward but i have posted the first draft of the pilot as it is just to get the basis of the show down and out and get everyone excited for what is to come. Which is a lot.

Firstly, let me start by saying I LOVE the idea of a "Teen Wolf" spin off, I dabbled with an idea for one starring Jackson when he comes back to the US after his stint in London was over.
I think the original characters you've come up with, Felicity and Carson, both work really well, and sound intriguing, and I love the idea of exploring another side of the Argent family, that it's bigger then just the group we've seen living in Beacon Hills.

However, to me, this show basically comes across as "Teen Wolf 2.0", mixed in with a little bit of "The Originals", since the setting is New Orleans, and you want to bring vampires, albeit with a different name, into the mythology, not to mention the whole idea of a city at war between various supernatural factions. It was suggested that one of the reasons the Supernatural: Tribes pilot failed was that is was too similar to "The Originals", just a different location.
With the fact that you have Scott and Lydia as 'main characters', versus special guest star status, it feels more like a re-invented 'alternate season 4' then an actual spin-off, especially since "Teen Wolf" is still going on. Also, it feels like you're glossing over the whole 'Allison being resurrected' arc - I mean, although "Teen Wolf" has dealt with resurrection, it was only in the case of a supernatural creature, whereas Allison is a human, so it would be interesting to see what side-effects or ramifications to nature this would present.

Personally, I think you need to explore the more unique aspects you're bringing to this idea, such as the original characters, and the circumstances that bring them together, and maybe re-evaluate just how 'free-standing' the show would be compared to it's origin show.

Thanks Alex, I do understand your concerns about all that, but Scott and Lydia is just being thrown around here and there I'm still debating on them. As for the rest of the show, there are some aspects to the show that make it originals from "the Originals" (pun intended lol). While the show is set in New Orleans and there is a war, this is a war basically for nature and balance. Allison coming back will have MAJOR consequences. That will be explored, not worry one bit. As for the Supernatrual factions, it's basically, The Bayou Wolves, the Druids and the Immortals VS the Argents and the Hunters. The city was once safe and protected but since the Bayou Wolves were drawn out of their land many years ago by the Argent Family, they want to reclaim it, and they need allies to do it. In the pilot, they do team up with Hunters but for good reason. The first half of this season, really wraps up Allison's story from Beacon Hills, making amends with her friends and such. But I do realize now that I do have to stick within Teen Wolf canon.

As with the Allison/Resurrection Arc, it will not be glossed over one bit, don't worry about that. As it may seem from the pitch, that it's just, Allison's back we gotta break a curse, there is reasoning behind it. Allison single handily with her death, and with the help of Issac and her Father, changed the code of the Hunters. Allison coming back, does have reasoning behind it, but it's a later episode that it all truly kicks off.

I will definatly go back and re-do a few things to make this series stand on it's on as ALLISON'S STORY. So the pitch will undergo a few changes, thanks Alex for making me realieze that, and I'm happy that you gave me this comment to help me push the show forward in a whole new way, I think I have a few new ideas now.

CURRENT STATUS: This show will be put on the back burner for now to see how Season Four of Teen Wolf turns out. As of right now, I will be focusing on The Path and possible other projects, but as for now, this show is just on the back burner for a bit so I can sort some things out.
