It was announced at San Diego Comic Con that season six of Teen Wolf will be its final season. Cue the waterworks, people.
Since its beginning in 2011, Teen Wolf has pulled fans in with its intriguing plot lines, lovable characters, and crazy monsters. Now that the show is coming to an end, fans are wondering just what can they expect from the final season?
Based on what we’ve seen from the new trailer and what show creator Jason Davis gave away in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, these are just a few things that we can begin to ponder about the show’s final season:
The Wild Hunt is after Stiles
In the trailer for the new season, we get a sneak peek at the new threat the heroes of Beacon Hills must face. This time it’s the Wild Hunt. If this Wild Hunt is anything like the Wild Hunt from Celtic Mythology, or the Wild Hunt from Cassandra Clare’s The Dark Artifice’s trilogy, we may have a big problem on our hands. The Wild Hunt consists of a group of horsemen; oftentimes accompanied by dark creatures—think hellhounds from Supernatural. In the trailer, we’re told that the Wild Hunt has come to Beacon Hills, and our precious Stiles is next on their “To hunt” list. The Wild Hunt of the Teen Wolf universe makes people disappear, which is pretty accurate to other versions of the mythology. One of the few ways a person targeted by the Hunt can have a chance at escape is to jump between realms. In a few of the scenes in the trailer, Stiles looks to be in a completely different world from the rest of the crew. So what has happened to Stiles? Was he caught? Is he running away from the Hunt? Will he be okay? And most importantly, will his friends and family be able to remember him?
Are we finally going to get Stydia?!
During their interview with Entertainment Weekly, Jason Davis spilled that Stydia would play a role in this final season, but it wouldn’t be in a way that the fans would see coming. So what can we expect? We’re not really sure. There are a few emotional moments between the fan favorite OTP in the trailer, but how different is their relationship going to be in these last twenty episodes? We will have to watch to find out!
No love interest for Scott?
It was previously mentioned that Arden Cho would not be returning as Kira in the sixth season. This means that for the first time since the show’s beginning, Scott will not have a love interest. How will this new situation play out for Scott? Will he be depressed or will he be hyper-focused on The Hunt and how to save his remaining friends? Will he become even more of a leader, or need more support from his pack as a piece of him is missing? I would like to see that he is strong and doesn’t need a relationship to make him whole, but only time will tell.
Is a happy ending really possible?
With the threat of the Wild Hunt, a happy ending seems pretty far off. The Wild Hunt is near impossible to escape, so how will the series end if the threat isn’t possible to defeat?
This season seems to promise a lot of drama! With the dark themes, it seeks to really instill a sense of urgency with each episode. After the climax of the series with the dark Kitsune in season 3B, show creators have remained in a dark concept for the show. Dylan O’Brien has shown his acting ability with this show, and viewers can definitely expect some hard hitting scenes from him in this final season. The entire cast has grown so much over the years. It will be sad to see them go, but it’s been a wild ride.
What do you think will happen in the final season of Teen Wolf?
