The MTV Dylan O’Brien Teen Wolf series is back in two ways: A movie starring Tyler Hoechlin and Crystal Reed, and Wolf Pack, led by Sarah Michelle Gellar and a new cast. Here’s what creator Jeff Davis said at New York Comic Con 2022.
One pack reunited and another came together for the first time. The Teen Wolf: The Movie & Wolf Pack double panel at the 2022 New York Comic Con provided footage and other details about the upcoming film and spinoff series, which will both premiere on Paramount Plus on Jan. 26, 2023.
In attendance at the panel was showrunner Jeff Davis, returning cast members Tyler Posey, Crystal Reed, Holland Roden, Colton Haynes, Shelley Hennig, Dylan Sprayberry, and Khylin Rhambo as well as new cast members Vince Mattis and Amy Workman.
Not every cast member from the beloved MTV series is returning for the film, with Dylan O’Brien and Arden Cho notably absent, but creator Davis said the one character he insisted on revisiting was Allison, played by Reed. “I’d always said that if we were gonna do a movie we would have to bring Crystal back,” he said.
The movie takes place 15 years after the end of the show. “Scott McCall is not a teen wolf anymore,” said Posey. “He’s a 30-year-old wolf.” That means he’ll be moodier and broodier than ever before. “Beacon Hills carries a lot of weight for Scott. Emotionally physically. He’s constantly on edge trying to save the world, trying to be the true Alpha.” In that time jump, however, he took a break from trying to be the hero and lost himself. “It’s the first time we’ve seen him [try to be a normal human] since the pilot,” said Posey, and he’s “dealing with depression, loneliness, and anxiety” for the first time.
He’s not the only character who has changed significantly in that time jump.
