The synopsis for Teen Wolf: The Movie reads:

“A full moon rises in Beacon Hills, and with it, a terrifying evil has emerged. The wolves are howling once again, calling for the return of banshees, werecoyotes, hellhounds, kitsunes, and every other shapeshifter in the night.”

It continues:

“But only a werewolf like Scott McCall, no longer a teenager yet still an alpha, can both gather new allies and reunite trusted friends to fight back against what could be the most powerful and deadliest enemy they’ve ever faced.”

Who are not returning in Teen Wolf: The Movie?

Arden Cho, who played the fan-favorite character Kira Yukimura on the show, refused to be a part of the supernatural thriller after learning that her offered salary was half that of her female co-actors per episode.

Meanwhile, Dylan O’Brien, Teen Wolf’s Stiles Stilinski, told Variety earlier this year that though the show is “extremely dear” to him, he decided to exclude himself from Teen Wolf: The Movie after much deliberation.
