Teen Wolf: The Movie
Jan 24, 2025
Teen Wolf Retrospective Series Episode 3
Scotty, Come Home
Tyler Posey returns to Beacon Hills a decade after making Teen Wolf a phenomenon on MTV to resurrect original girlfriend Crystal Reed from the dead and have a rematch with the Japanese trickster spirit Nogitsune. But did The Movie that debuted on Paramount Plus in 2023 screw the pooch by not bringing back series MVP Dylan O’Brien? Or has CW’s Superman Tyler Hoechlin saved the day by siring the franchise’s future (assuming Derek’s kid will commit to putting on the fur and red eyes and actually become a werewolf)?
