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.

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".{{cite news |date=June 23, 2009 |first=Jon |last=Weisman |url=https://variety.com/2009/scene/markets-festivals/mtv-greenlights-eight-projects-1118005302/ |title=MTV greenlights eight projects |work=Variety |access-date=October 21, 2010}} 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. 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.
Once the show was a go, Davis lined up Australian director Russell Mulcahy, who added the horror to the project.{{cite web |url=https://collider.com/jeff-davis-russell-mulcahy-interview-teen-wolf/94736/ |title=Exclusive: Producer Jeff Davis and Director Russell Mulcahy Talk TEEN WOLF |last=Radish |first=Christina |date=June 10, 2011 |website=Collider |access-date=June 14, 2011 |archive-date=June 12, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110612091434/http://collider.com/jeff-davis-russell-mulcahy-interview-teen-wolf/94736/ |url-status=live }} Mulcahy directed the pilot presentation and serves as executive producer and in-house director.{{cite web |url=https://www.dreadcentral.com/news/35640/russell-mulcahy-piloting-mtvs-teen-wolf-twilight-glory |date=July 20, 2012 |title=Russell Mulcahy Piloting MTV's Teen Wolf to Twilight Glory |website=Dreadcentral.com |access-date=October 14, 2010 |archive-date=February 4, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100204221002/http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/35640/russell-mulcahy-piloting-mtvs-teen-wolf-twilight-glory |url-status=live }}

Differences and similarities from films
Teen Wolf shares no continuity with the 1985 film Teen Wolf or its sequel, Teen Wolf Too,{{cite news |first=Michael |last=Wilmington |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1987-11-20-ca-15033-story.html |title=MOVIE REVIEWS : Teen Wolf Too Deserves a Silver Bullet - Los Angeles Times |newspaper=LA Times |date=November 20, 1987 |access-date=August 23, 2012 |archive-date=December 18, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131218122705/http://articles.latimes.com/1987-11-20/entertainment/ca-15033_1_lycanthropy |url-status=live }}{{cite news |url=https://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9B0DE4D61639F933A15752C1A961948260 |title=Teen Wolf Too (1987), Family Curse |website=New York Times |access-date=August 23, 2012 |first=Caryn |last=James |date=November 20, 1987 |archive-date=May 31, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200531110525/https://www.nytimes.com/1987/11/20/movies/film-teen-wolf-too-family-curse.html |url-status=live }} 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.{{cite web |url=https://www.filmschoolrejects.com/features/channel-guide-teen-wolf-barks-but-doesnt-bite-yet.php |title=Channel Guide: Teen Wolf Barks, But Doesn't Bite Yet |last=Barr |first=Merrill |date=June 11, 2011 |website=Film School Rejects |access-date=June 11, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121001202342/http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/features/channel-guide-teen-wolf-barks-but-doesnt-bite-yet.php |url-status=dead |archive-date=October 1, 2012}} 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.{{cite news |url=http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2011/06/09/the-throwback-did-teen-wolf-need-a-reboot/ |title=The Throwback: Did Teen Wolf need a reboot? |last=McLaughlin |first=Katie |date=June 9, 2011 |website=CNN |access-date=June 11, 2011 |archive-date=October 22, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121022120100/http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2011/06/09/the-throwback-did-teen-wolf-need-a-reboot/ |url-status=dead }}
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.{{cite news |url=http://eonline.com/uberblog/the_awful_truth/b254377_will_teen_wolf_be_venturing_into.html |title=Will Teen Wolf Be Venturing Into Vampire Territory? |last1=Casablanca |first1=Ted |last2=Boone |first2=John |date=July 26, 2011 |website=E! |access-date=July 26, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110809161012/http://www.eonline.com/news/the_awful_truth/will_teen_wolf_be_venturing_into/254377 |archive-date=August 9, 2011}}
