About Teen Wolf

Loosely inspired by the 1985 comedy film, MTV's Teen Wolf reinvents the premise as a moody, fast-paced supernatural drama set in the fictional California town of Beacon Hills. Awkward high-schooler Scott McCall is bitten by a mysterious creature in the woods one night and wakes to find his senses sharpened, his asthma gone, and his entire life rewritten by the curse of lycanthropy.

As Scott learns to control the wolf inside him, he and his loyal best friend Stiles are pulled deeper into a hidden world of rival alphas, ruthless werewolf hunters, and ancient creatures that prey on a town built over a wellspring of supernatural power. Romance, lacrosse, and the everyday chaos of teenage life collide with kanimas, banshees, and darker forces across six escalating seasons.

Equal parts horror, soap, and coming-of-age saga, the series follows a tight-knit pack who choose loyalty over fear again and again, turning ordinary kids into reluctant protectors of their hometown. The show stars Tyler Posey as the true alpha Scott McCall, Dylan O'Brien as the quick-witted Stiles Stilinski, and Tyler Hoechlin as the brooding born werewolf Derek Hale.
