Teen Wolf/Season 1

Teen Wolf is an American television series of the horror and teen drama subgenres. It was created by film director and executive producer Russell Mulcahy and produced by MGM Worldwide Television Productions. The series is a dramatic reinterpretation of the 1985 comedy film Teen Wolf starring Michael J. Fox.

The show stars Tyler Posey as the eponymous protagonist Scott McCall, a high school student who is infected by a werewolf's bite and turns into a werewolf himself. Assisting him in this strange new development is his best friend, the nerdy Stiles Stilinsky, played by Dylan O'Brien, who serves as Scott's confidante and sidekick - humorously struggling to help Scott out of any hairy predicaments that he becomes involved in. Actress Crystal Reed plays Scott's love interest, Allison Argent. As with most teen dramas, their relationship hits a major snarl Scott discovers that Allison's father, Christopher Argent, is the leader of a family of werewolf hunters. Other cast members include Tyler Hoechlin as Derek Hale - the werewolf responsible for infecting Scott; Colton Haynes as Jackson Whittemore, the everpresent athletic jerk and Scott's rival and finally, Lydia Martin, played by Holland Roden - the beautiful smart girl who is the secret object of Stiles' desires. Supporting cast members in the series include Linden Ashby as Sheriff Stilinsky, Stiles' father; JR Bourne as Christopher Argent, Melissa Ponzio as Scott's mother Melissa McCall, Orny Adams as the irascible high school lacrosse coach Bobby Finstock, Ian Bohen as evil werewolf Peter Hale and Eaddy Mays as Argent family matriarch Victoria Argent.
