Teen Wolf Teen Wolf Too Teen Wolf (1986 TV series) Teen Wolf: The Movie

Teen Wolf is an American supernatural teen drama television series developed by Jeff Davis for MTV. Serving as a supernatural reimagining of the 1985 film of the same name, the series is the fourth installment overall in the titular franchise. Tyler Posey portrays a young werewolf who defends his California town from supernatural creatures and other threats.

The series premiered on June 5, 2011, and concluded on September 24, 2017, after six seasons. It received generally positive reviews from critics and won three Saturn Awards for Best Youth-Oriented Television Series. The series also received thirteen Teen Choice Awards, nine for the performances of Posey, Dylan O'Brien, Tyler Hoechlin, Holland Roden, and Shelley Hennig, and four for Choice Summer TV Series.

A film continuation, Teen Wolf: The Movie , was released on Paramount+ on January 26, 2023.

Synopsis

Teen Wolf revolves around Scott McCall, a high school student living in the fictional California town of Beacon Hills. Scott becomes the eponymous teenage werewolf of the series after he is bitten by an alpha werewolf the night before his second year of high school, drastically changing his once-ordinary life. The bite forces him to balance his new identity with day-to-day teenage life and eventually help protect his hometown, which he learns is a beacon for supernatural activity.

Scott begins the series as a relatively unpopular and unathletic student who lives with his divorced mother Melissa, a nurse at Beacon Hills Memorial Hospital. As a werewolf, he develops heightened physical abilities and senses well beyond those of an ordinary human, but he also must control animalistic instincts that are amplified by feelings of aggression and full moons. Further complicating matters, Scott develops romantic feelings for new classmate Allison Argent, who comes from a family of werewolf hunters that includes her father Chris Argent. Helping Scott manage his new life are his best friend Stiles Stilinski, the son of Beacon Hills Sheriff Stilinski, and the natural-born werewolf Derek Hale. The supernatural events surrounding Beacon Hills also end up affecting Lydia Martin, a popular and intelligent student who discovers that she is a banshee, and Jackson Whittemore, the captain of the school's lacrosse team who resents Scott's newfound attention. As new and familiar threats emerge, Scott is joined by werecoyote Malia Tate, kitsune Kira Yukimura, and Scott's first beta werewolf Liam Dunbar in keeping his family, friends, and the rest of the town safe.

• Colton Haynes (seasons 1–2; guest season 6) as Jackson Whittemore: Lydia's shallow boyfriend. Jackson antagonises Scott and Stiles relentlessly but suffers from inner self-hatred.

Development and production

In June 2009, MTV announced that they would be adapting the 1985 film Teen Wolf into a new television series "with a greater emphasis on romance, horror and werewolf mythology". ^[16] The film had been previously adapted for television as an animated series that aired on CBS in 1986–87.

For the MTV series, creator and executive producer, Jeff Davis, aimed to develop a darker, sexier and edgier version than the 1985 film. Davis' desire was to make a thriller with comedic overtones but in a tone more similar to that of the 1987 vampire film The Lost Boys . According to Davis, it all started with an idea to do a homage to Stand by Me , where in the beginning, the kids go out and search for a body in the woods and it's not quite what they expect. ^[17] The look of the show was inspired in part by Guillermo del Toro's creatures in Pan's Labyrinth ; the producers described the werewolves as beautiful, elegant and scary, at the same time. ^[17]

Once the show was a go, Davis lined up Australian director Russell Mulcahy, who added the horror to the project. ^[17] Mulcahy directed the pilot presentation and serves as executive producer and in-house director. ^[18]

The title card from season one.

Casting announcements were all announced in December 2010, with the main cast being, Tyler Posey, Crystal Reed, Tyler Hoechlin, Dylan O'Brien, Holland Roden, and Colton Haynes. Posey was cast as lead Scott McCall, a dorky high-school student who after being bitten by a werewolf, starts to notice changes in himself. Reed was cast as Allison Argent, a sweet new girl at school who is immediately attracted to Scott; Hoechlin as Derek Hale, a handsome local boy who in fact is a vicious and predatory werewolf; O'Brien as Stiles, Scott's best friend; Roden as Lydia Martin, Jackson Whittemore's popular and controlling girlfriend; and Haynes as Jackson Whittemore, Scott's lacrosse teammate and rival. ^[19]

Production on twelve episodes began in October 2010 in Atlanta, Georgia. ^[20] MTV released a sneak peek of the first eight minutes of the pilot on their website, on May 31, 2011. Teen Wolf episodes are composed by music composer Dino Meneghin. ^[21] As of Season 2, the opening credits of the show changed dramatically to a longer format featuring the main characters appearing whilst performing an action (such as Colton Haynes performing a lacrosse throw), along with the respective names of the actors.

The new opening credits also feature the show's new theme song. ^[22] In June 2012, the series received conditional approval for a California film and TV tax credit. ^[23] At Comic-Con 2012, the cast confirmed that the show had been renewed for a longer third season, comprising twenty-four episodes. ^[24] In June 2013, the series was selected again for a California tax credit. ^[25]

On September 24, 2021, Paramount+ ordered a reunion film for the series, entitled Teen Wolf: The Movie , with most of the cast expected to return, ^[26] with the exception of Dylan O'Brien, Arden Cho and Cody Christian. ^[27]

Differences and similarities from films

Teen Wolf shares no continuity with the 1985 film Teen Wolf or its sequel, Teen Wolf Too , ^{[28] [29]} but does contain allusions to the film which inspired its premise. The original film is about a typical awkward basketball-playing teenager named Scott dealing with high school and life as a werewolf. ^{[30] [31]} In both the film and show, Scott reaps the benefits of werewolf stardom, achieving confidence and acceptance from his peers with his newly-discovered powers, and has a close friend named Stiles. In the 1985 movie, Scott played basketball, whereas in the series, he plays lacrosse; Stiles wears retro British T-shirts in the TV series rather than the offensive T-shirts of the film; and Scott is transformed into a werewolf by bite in the series, whereas in the film he inherits the trait from his father. ^[30]

While the Teen Wolf films are comedies, the MTV series is a drama that contains comedic elements as well as dark themes, violence, and gore. The writers decided early on to exclude vampires from their in-show mythology. ^[32]

The first season of the series generated a generally positive response from professional critics, with some praising it as better quality when compared to other shows by MTV. According to Metacritic, which assigns a rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the show holds an average score of 61 out of 100, which indicates "Generally favorable reviews", based on fourteen reviews. ^[40] Metacritic also lists the show as the second-highest rated MTV series by professional critics behind Awkward . ^[41]

Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 68% of 25 critics have given the first season a positive review. The site's consensus is: "Thanks to a charismatic lead in Tyler Posey and some dark, biting humor, Teen Wolf is a pleasant summer surprise, even if it does tread familiar ground." ^[42] Linda Stasi, a writer from the New York Post , awarded the series' premiere a perfect score, stating, "Not only is it really well thought out, but the good-looking kids in the show can actually act." ^[43] Verne Gay from Newsday also reserved high praise for the show, calling it a "winner and best of all, fun". ^[44] David Hinckley of New York Daily News commented favorably on the series, ending his review with "Werewolves, pretty girls, dumb bullies and lacrosse. What more, really, could you ask of high school?" ^[45] Film critic Rex Reed is a fan of the series, calling it "the sexiest show on television today."

Some critics had a less positive reaction toward the first episode. Troy Patterson from Slate gave it a mixed review, referring to it as "light and passably witty supernatural drama". ^[46] James Poniewozik from Time magazine also had mixed feelings towards the show, saying, "The pilot isn't bad, exactly—it's well-paced if a little dour in spots and there's some decent CW-esque banter—but it's pretty much entirely what I would have expected from any supernatural teen drama". ^[47] Following the first-season finale in August 2011, Ian Grey of indieWire gave the series a positive review ^[48] and Angel Cohn of Television Without Pity named it the third best new show of the summer. ^[49] BuddyTV ranked Teen Wolf #4 on its list of 2011's best new TV shows. ^[50]

The second season of the show received even more positive reviews than the first, with Rotten Tomatoes reporting a 90% approval rating based on 10 critical reviews. ^[51] The third season also received positive reviews, earning an approval rating of 88% based on 17 reviews. ^[52]

Despite its generally positive reception, the show struggled with its representation of LGBTQ characters and issues and was critiqued for queerbaiting. ^{[53] [54]}
