Are Tyler Posey, Dylan O'Brien in the 'Teen Wolf' Movie? Details

It’s happening, Teen Wolf is coming back! For months, Tyler Posey and fans have been begging for the return of the fan-favorite TV show, and now, the wolves are back in movie form.

In September 2020, it was announced that the show’s creator, Jeff Davis, would be bringing back the werewolf world he created for an original Teen Wolf movie and new Wolf Pack series for Paramount+. “Glad to be back with MTV!” the writer and producer shared via Instagram following the announcement.

“We’ve heard your howls and we’re howling back,” Paramount+ said in the movie’s official teaser trailer. “The story continues.”

Aside from Tyler, the show starred Dylan O’Brien, Colton Haynes, Holland Roden, Dylan Sprayberry, Arden Cho, Crystal Reed, Max Carver, Charlie Carver and Daniel Sharman, among others. The Maid in Manhattan alum starred as Scott McCall, a teenage lacrosse player who gets bit by a werewolf in his down of Beacon Hills. Teen Wolf lasted for six seasons on MTV from 2011 to 2017.

In March 2020, Tyler started leading the pack of fans who were hopeful for a reboot or reunion of sorts.

“Hey @MTV I think it’s time to bring Teen Wolf back for new episodes,” the actor wrote on Twitter at the time. “First Jersey Shore Family Vacation. Now Teen Wolf high school reunion. I’m ready. And 28 so it’s an appropriate age.”

Over the years, Tyler has spoken highly about his experience on the show, noting that he’s “always hopeful” for more from the series.

“I love Teen Wolf, and during the lockdown, I actually rewatched the entire thing and I fell in love with it even more. It’s so good. It’s so good. I’m so proud and impressed. We were so young and I’m just, like, I’m really impressed with what we did,” he shared during an interview with Entertainment Tonight in October 2020. “There’s no talk in expanding the series. I did, one night, have an idea of Scott McCall going to college and just being a normal werewolf inside of the world. I recorded a three-minute-long voicemail and sent it to Jeff Davis and he thought it was hilarious, but it’s a completely different idea.”

Following the Teen Wolf movie announcement, Tyler shared the teaser on social media alongside a caption that read, “Sup.”

While Dylan — who played Scott’s best friend Stiles — has yet to speak on the movie, the actor previously told fans during the show’s June 2020 virtual reunion that his “heart lies and dies with Teen Wolf.”

The Plot

“A full moon rises in Beacon Hills, and with it a terrifying evil has emerged,” Paramount+ and MTV shared in a statement. “The wolves are howling once again, calling for the return of Banshees, Werecoyotes, Hellhounds, Kitsunes and every other shapeshifter in the night. But only a Werewolf like Scott McCall, no longer a teenager yet still an Alpha, can gather both new allies and reunite trusted friends to fight back against what could be the most powerful and deadliest enemy they’ve ever faced.”

Dylan Is Out

“It was a difficult decision. A lot went into it,” the actor told Variety in March 2022 “The show couldn’t be more dear to me. It was the first thing I ever did I, and so many people there are extremely dear to me. It was something’s I was trying to make work, but it all happened very fast. We didn’t really know that it was happening and they kind of just threw it at us a little bit, which is fine because we all love the show. We were trying to figure it out.”

He added, “Ultimately, I just decided it was left in a really good place for me, and I still want to leave it there. I wish them well and I’m going to watch it the first night it comes out. I hope it f–king kicks ass, but I’m not going to be in it.”

Stiles’ Influence

“The movie does answer the question of what happened to ‘Stydia,’ so you’re going to have to watch,” creator Jeff told Entertainment Weekly in July 2022. “And Stiles, while he isn’t in the movie, is ever-present in the movie. These characters all leave an influence so there’s no way we could have done it without mentioning him or at least referencing, but all the other characters are there too. You’ll see some familiar faces.”

Allison Is Different

“It’s been 10 years since the pilot so I didn’t know how to approach her, and also, I can’t give anything away but she’s a version of herself [that] we had to create that as well,” Crystal told Entertainment Weekly in October 2022, about her character. “I did use a lot of music, and I was looking into a bunch of things that happen to people’s psyches. And then I watched the show again from start to finish which was really hard for me to watch because it made me sad. But I fell back in love with her which was nice.”

She added, “We don’t even know if she’s alive. We’re not supposed to tell you if she’s even alive or not. That’s what we got. She’s back but is she alive? … I didn’t know what to expect and I was really nervous. It’s been such a long time. [Creator Jeff] told me a little bit about what was going to happen in the film and about the fans and his vision for it, and I just felt really compelled to do it. It was really, really wonderful and I’m so happy I came back.”
