On July 21st, 2016, the cast of one of MTV's hit TV shows, "Teen Wolf," came together at this year's Comic Con to announce that the newly confirmed 20 episode sixth-season of the show would be the very last season of Teen Wolf.
First released in June 2011, the show stars Tyler Posey as Scott McCall. Scott, along with his best friend Stiles Stilinsky (played by Dylan O' Brian), are searching the woods for a dead body after hearing about it on Stiles's father's (Sheriff Stilinsky, played by Linden Ashby) police radio, because why not? As the two go searching, they are separated when Stiles's father shows up and Stiles distracts him so Scott can get away, however, Scott runs into something way worse, a werewolf (although he didn't know it at the time). Scott is bit in the side and somehow finds a way back home where he bandages himself and tries to put the thought away.

Well, that bite set him off on an adventure he never thought he'd embark on. From that one episode brought four more seasons, a total of 80 episodes and 20 to come with this last season. Along the way, Scott gains a multitude of friends with supernatural abilities of their own or just really good talents. His "Wolfpack" are the ones that bring the show to life. They are always there for each other no matter what the circumstance may be. Just a few of them include Allison Argent (Crystal Reed), Lydia Martin (Holland Roden) and later on Malia Tate (Shelley Henning), Kira Yukimura (Arden Cho) and Liam Dunbar (Dylan Sprayberry) would join the amazing and heart-jolting series. Of course we can't forget about Derek Hale (Tyler Hoechlin), who played a star role in the series as well as Scott's mentor and frenemy.
Can't say goodbye without mentioning the bad guys! The ones who make the show so amazing. It has something to do with the Hales. Peter Hale (Ian Bohen) one of the baddest of the bads, plays a reoccurring frenemy of Scott's. Kate Argent (Jill Wagner), also aunt to Allison Argent, also plays a very crucial role in the storyline.
"Teen Wolf" has been such a great show on MTV, but don't just take it from me! I interviewed Willie Johnson, student at SAU and resident of Little Rock, AR. Willie started watching "Teen Wolf" in January 2016. I asked him what he wanted to say about the show ending and about his overall experience watching the show. His response:
"At first, I didn't care much for 'Teen Wolf.' My sister watched it and loved it, but I never paid much attention. So when all my friends at college started talking about it, I figured I'd give it try. But I didn't expect to like it so much, to fall in love with the characters who are so well portrayed, to see what new love triangles may arise and if the couples you want to fall in love (or break up) actually do. It's intense. It's immersive. And hopefully, with season six, we'll be left with a satisfying conclusion. I'll miss the characters and their wacky teenage antics more than anything. Even when they were kicking butt, human or monster, the times when we saw they were still just kids trying to get through in life with problems everyday people have... those reminded us just how human they all were. Even though most of them were shape-shifters or something of the sort."
Thanks, Willie!
Finally, a big thank you to Jeff Davis, the creator of "Teen Wolf" without whom, none of this would be possible. Thanks for your creative mind and heart. If you happen to read this article somehow, I look forward to your future works!
Although I couldn't mention all, big thanks to all of the actors and actresses and everyone behind the scenes! "Teen Wolf" shall go on!
