Teen Wolf: Every Season Ranked Worst To Best
Did the famed Nogitsune season beat the finale? We've ranked Teen Wolf so you don't have to!
MTV's Teen Wolf is full of young love, the perils of high school, and the supernatural. Loosely based on the 1985, coming of age film of the same name, showrunner Jeff Davies took the loveable core duo Scott and Stiles and turned them into young adult icons. The latter of the two played by Dylan O'Brien who has gone on to enjoy a very successful film career, remember The Maze Runner trilogy, anybody?
Premiering in 2011 and having an impressive 6 season run until 2017, Teen Wolf took the film's comedic elements and transposed them into a much dark show with a wide fanbase. But 6 seasons is a long time to carry a show despite the plethora of supernatural creatures to introduce.
One thing the show often did was to split the season in two, introducing a new villain or problem after the midseason break. This kept plots from becoming stale and packed much more story into each of the seasons. Over the course of the 6 years, fans watched as their favourite characters grew, changed, discovered hidden powers and fell in love.
It is inevitable that some seasons will be stronger than others but the question is which is the best? Here is every season of Teen Wolf ranked.
9. Season 4
It is hard to see this season as anything other than a massive shift from the previous three. With many much-loved characters having tragically been lost in Season 3, Allison's (Crystal Reed) exit is not one that is fast forgotten, and a new semester of school beginning it is difficult to warm to a season that feels somewhat disjointed.
With two villains competing for your attention, there is a definite feeling of trying to mix things up without a clear through-line. The return of Kate Argent (Jill Wagner) is overshadowed by the big bad Benefactor sending hunters after our, already thinning in numbers, beloved supernatural Beacon Hills residents. The pack must balance these two antagonists, inevitably triumphing as they always do.
One positive of this season is the introduction of new season regulars Dylan Sprayberry and Khylin Rambo as Liam and Mason, respectively. Mason, in particular, was a breath of fresh air and probably a direct response to the accusations of queerbaiting the show has faced of the years. The pair slotted into the pack with ease as clear intended successors of central duo Scott and Stiles (Tyler Posey and Dylan O'Brien).
Overall the season just feels like a lot going on but not much actually happening. By no means is this a bad watch, it's just not the best and definitely the most skippable of all the seasons.
