Excellent news – MTV’s Teen Wolf has already been renewed for a second 12-episode season. This is not a werewolf version of The Vampire Diaries. These are teens that actually look like they might be teens. No one here is secretly hundreds of years old, at least not that we’ve seen so far, and word is that this show will NEVER have vampires. The effects are decent, the leads are very likeable, and after several episodes there haven’t been many, or really any, eye-rolling moments.

And I’m not the only one who likes it. According to Zap2It, Teen Wolf is MTV‘s highest-rated new series of 2010 and 2011 and averages 1.7 million viewers. The show has doubled its time period average from a year ago and ranks No. 4 across all TV in its time slot.

One head’s up: everyone on the show is gorgeous, which doesn’t hurt, but the werewolves? Not. Really not. No attractive overgrown German shepherds here. Creepy red-eyed nasty scary things. NOW you’re interested, right?

Teen Wolf, starring Tyler Posey, Dylan O’Brien, Crystal Reed, Holland Roden, and Colton Haynes airs Mondays at 10/9c on MTV.
