Teen Wolf is an American supernatural teen drama television series. The series premiered on June 5, 2011, and concluded on September 24, 2017, after six seasons. It received generally positive reviews.
The main character Scott McCall is a high school teenage boy living in the fictional California town of Beacon Hills. Scott becomes a teenage werewolf of the series after he is bitten by an alpha werewolf the night before his second year of high school, drastically changing his once-ordinary life and eventually helps to protect his hometown, which he learns is a beacon for supernatural activity.
As a werewolf, he develops heightened physical abilities and senses well beyond those of an ordinary human, but he also must control animalistic instincts that are amplified by feelings of aggression and full moons. Scott develops romantic feelings for new classmate Allison Argent, who comes from a family of werewolf hunters that includes her father Chris Argent. Helping Scott manage his new life are his best friend Stiles Stilinski, the son of Beacon Hills Sheriff Stilinski, and the natural-born werewolf Derek Hale.
The supernatural events surrounding Beacon Hills also end up affecting Lydia Martin, a popular and intelligent student who discovers that she is a banshee, and Jackson Whittemore, the captain of the school’s lacrosse team who resents Scott’s newfound attention. As new and familiar threats emerge, Scott is joined by werecoyote Malia Tate, kitsune Kira Yukimura, and Scott’s first beta werewolf Liam Dunbar in keeping his family, friends, and the rest of the town safe.
