Another shapeshifter will be introduced in the second half of MTV's "Teen Wolf" season 5.
MoviePilot recently revealed that series executive producer Jeff Davis shared to Teen Wolf News that Beacon Hill's kitsune Kira Yukimura (Arden Cho) and her mother Noshiko (Tamlyn Tomita) will have to face a new group of creatures called the Skinwalker, which are popular in Native American folklore.
According to the report, the mother-daughter duo left Beacon Hill to look for the cure that could help tame her Fox spirit after the Dread Doctors did something to change its attitude. Because of this, the Yukimuras will have to face the legendary Native American shapeshifter known as the Skinwalkers.
Based on the legends of the Navajo tribe, the Skinwalkers can change themselves to become any kind of animal. Others can even transform into another person.
Davis revealed that Kira and her mother will be travelling all the way to New Mexico to look for her cure. To shoot their scenes for the upcoming arc in the series, the production utilized the scenic views of the popular Vasquez Rock formation in Los Angeles and filmed the mother-daughter scenes there last month. However, there are no details yet about why Kira and Noshiko interacted with the Native American creature.
These events will allegedly happen in "Teen Wolf" season 5 episode 13, which means that Kira will not be seen on the show until sometime early next year.
According to Davis, "Episode 12 cues the audience in to where she's been and where she's going with a bit of a cliffhanger," and then 13 is all about Kira, the executive producer claimed. "It's pretty fun, what we've come up with, and pretty ambitious, and it delves into some of the tougher parts of her relationship with her own mother, too."
"Teen Wolf" season 5B is slated to premiere on Jan. 5, 2016, on MTV.
