Day 1 of the 2016 San Diego Comic-Con is likely to be remembered as bittersweet for the fans of MTV’s “Teen Wolf.” In the show’s impressive seventh visit to SDCC, the network announced to a packed room of over 4,000 die-hard fans that their beloved drama horror series will conclude with its sixth and final season premiering in November.
The series – which spawned a legion of fans, pioneered social TV, and made international stars of Tyler Posey and Dylan O’Brien – will draw to a close with a 20-episode season, kicking off in November and ending with its 100th episode in 2017.
Tyler Posey, Holland Roden, Dylan Sprayberry, Cody Christian, and Khylin Rhambo, along with executive producer Jeff Davis, bid fans a teary-eyed thank you and previewed the final season with an epic – and unsettling – Season 6 trailer, available to view below along with the first promo and a chat with Tyler Posey, Holland Roden, and Jeff Davis revealing how they feel about the announcement.
“‘Teen Wolf’ has been an extraordinary journey, one that captured the hearts and imaginations of fans more than we could’ve ever imagined,” said showrunner and executive producer Jeff Davis. “We’re eternally grateful for the support we’ve received over these past six years, and we’re excited to take our brave fans on one last, thrilling adventure.”

Today marked the seventh consecutive trip to “The Con” for “Teen Wolf,” and as always, the series’ panel had surprises in store. Cast members Ian Bohen (“Peter Hale”) and J.R. Bourne (“Chris Argent”) jolted the cast and fans by thundering onstage dressed as Beacon Hills’ newest villains: The Ghost Riders.
MTV also gave Comic-Con fans in the room an exclusive sneak peek at its forthcoming scripted series “Sweet/Vicious,” a provocative scripted dramedy about sexual assault, consent, and revenge on college campuses that will premiere alongside “Teen Wolf” in November 2016.
As someone’s who’s stuck by the show through its ups and downs over the years, thanks to the powers-that-be for recognizing it has run its course and ending it before too much damage. Here’s to a strong final season… and those kids finally graduating high school!
