Yes, it appears Teen Wolf‘s breakout star is not coming back for the third season. “Colton is leaving Teen Wolf,” a source tells Us magazine. “It’s not that he didn’t want to return because he did. It’s that the heads of the show wanted to limit him to only appearing on half the season – 12 episodes, not 24.” From OhNoTheyDidnt: “A spokesperson for the network denies Haynes will be exiting the supernatural smash, saying there is ‘absolutely no truth that Colton is being pushed out or that he, or any cast member, is being replaced. We love Colton and look forward to his returning with the entire cast for season 3 of Teen Wolf.‘” But I think I’m going to believe Colton. If he’s tweeting that he’s leaving, he’s probably pretty much made up his mind. According to that Us magazine source, the Teen Wolf cast is “devastated by Haynes’ sudden departure. ‘They are sad as they had become a family. Colton loves Tyler Hoechlin, Holland Roden and Tyler Posey. They are his best friends. He is upset that he won’t be returning . . .He is being forced out of the show.'” It all comes down to this: “Though Haynes would have liked to continue playing Jackson Whittemore, if he did the 12 episodes, he would not be able to work on anything else during the 12 episodes he’s not on,” the source says.
