Biography
Jeff Davis (born June 13, 1975) is an American writer and television producer. He is best known for creating the drama series Criminal Minds and Teen Wolf.
In 2003, Davis sold a script to CBS Television that eventually became the hit series Criminal Minds. He served as co-executive producer during the first season of the show.
In 2011, Davis began talks with MTV about a reboot of the Michael J. Fox '80s comedy Teen Wolf. He says he jumped at the project due to his love of the horror genre. He notes among his influences writers Stephen King and Thomas Harris. Davis has also stated that he is a fan of The X-Files, Cheers, and Moonlighting. As executive producer, head writer, and show creator, Jeff Davis was the creative force behind Teen Wolf.
After the second season of Teen Wolf ended, Davis split his time between Los Angeles and Atlanta, Georgia, where he filmed the show. Davis sold a series adaption of the Swedish horror film Let the Right One In, for the U.S. television channel A&E.
The script was then ordered to pilot at TNT. The pilot was shot in Vancouver, but ultimately, TNT decided not to proceed with a series. More recently, he signed a deal with MTV Entertainment Studios through his First Cause production company.
