‘Teen Wolf’ Season 6 Spoilers — Stiles & Lydia, Nazi Werewolf Villain | TVLine 

finale felt a little too much like happily-ever-after for you, fear not — there’s 

TVLine spoke with showrunner Jeff Davis about the episode’s most intriguing developments, how they’ll affect the show moving forward and, of course, what we 

“This was the first episode where ever actually did time compression,” Davis revealed. “It’s when the episode is a minute too long for airing, and we use a company that removes fractions of frames so we can cut a minute out of the episode. I couldn’t cut anything. It was impossible.”

Read on for our full Q&A with Davis, including his thoughts on Allison’s lingering presence, the mystery of Kira’s disappearance and the promising future of — wait for it — Stiles and Lydia!

TVLINE | Allison played a surprisingly big part this season. Can you talk about the decision to honor her character the way you did?

There are two things to it: We loved the idea of writing a love letter to Allison, and also to Crystal Reed. When we were able to get her back for that episode, we were able to tie it into the plot, even the way she looked. It was another way for us to have Allison save Scott’s life, to show that these incredible relationships and bonds survive even after death. She can still save his life, even from beyond the grave. It was also a way of starting to hand the baton over to Teen Wolf 2.0. It is a very different show now, so we acknowledged the past while also moving towards the future. We’re seeing our high school kids on the way to graduation. It’s a strange thing doing a teen show that lasts four seasons, because they do eventually have to grow up. … I don’t think we want to have to change the title to Adult Wolf or Man Wolf.

TVLINE | Am I crazy for hoping that whatever crawled out of the machine at the end will be played by Crystal Reed?

] That was the Nazi werewolf! I can absolutely confirm that the soldier has left the machine and will be a part of Season 6, a threat. It was something we were planning for a while, and we weren’t sure if we were going to use that final shot, but once we started shooting Season 6, we figured we might as well use it.

TVLINE | Fair enough. What about Stiles and Lydia? They clearly have lingering feelings, so can we hope for some progression in Season 6?

They’re not only lingering feelings — they become a focus, a focal point of the next season. Something big happens in the very first episode of Season 6 between Stiles and Lydia, which you’ll have to tune in to see.

TVLINE | That’s bad news for Malia. Speaking of, should we expect to see the Desert Wolf back in the near future?

does. We were really happy with Marisol Nichols on the show, and we’d love to have her back. Malia’s relationship with her parents is always interesting, and you might see another parent show up soon.

I think he got his just desserts in the end, but I will say that we really like Cody Christian. We wanted to make sure we didn’t kill him, so we could possibly bring him back.

TVLINE | It seems like everybody got the ending they deserved. A lot of loose ends were tied up.

We absolutely wanted to do that. After the ending of 510, where we saw everyone at their lowest, we wanted to slowly bring everyone back up again, rebuild the pack. … That way, we could also get back to fun high school stuff, like seeing Coach again and getting Stiles back to humor.

TVLINE | Stiles has been on fire these past few weeks.

I remember being on set and demonstrating for the director exactly how Stiles should fumble the gun. The director asked me, “So, do they direct?” And I was like, “No, they should just stare at the gun on the floor,” and he should say, “I probably shouldn’t have a gun.” It’s fun to do moments like that, and I love that our show has a sense of humor.

TVLINE | Let’s talk Parrish: What’s next for him after all of this?

He is back in the world of being a deputy, and he’ll have to come to terms with what it means to be both supernatural and human. He’s definitely got some learning to do. His job wasn’t necessarily to kill the Beast, but to slow the Beast down enough. Was he the hero he was supposed to be in this last episode? He’ll be dealing with that in Season 6.

TVLINE | And I imagine Mason will be experiencing some repercussions from everything he’s been through?

We’re still debating that in the writers’ room as he develop Season 6. How much do we want this to effect Mason? Do we want his character to change? One of the things we like most about his character is that he’s utterly optimistic. He’s got this unflagging enthusiasm, so I don’t know how much we’re going to darken his character. He’s sort of a beacon of light for the other characters, and now that he’s human again, we’re most excited to see him being funny.

Yes, we’re going to explore that relationship — quite a bit, actually — in Season 6.

TVLINE | Lastly, the fans are worried about Kira, who apparently loves to leave town. Why was she gone so much this season, and when can we expect her back?

There are some big changes coming to the show next season; you’ll have to wait and see the fate of Kira. It was partially because we wanted her to go down a difficult path. We wanted to see her with her mother in the desert, to make sure we gave her a full episode to explore her character. As for certain characters not being in certain episodes, it’s a lot like The Walking Dead — some episodes, we just focus on different characters. It’s about where the show and the characters are all headed as we start to hand things off to our 2.0 characters. We’ll see the older ones graduate and go off and have other lives.

Your thoughts on Davis’ teases? Drop ’em in a comment below.

Bring back Allison. Thats all I ask. Crystal wants back in, and so do we. I dont care how it happens. Drop them into the ice tubs again. Just do it please.

Supernatural cloning? Why not. MUCH stranger things happen on Teen Wolf.

Revive a Allison, aunque sea la manera mas absurda, pero la queremos de vuelta!!:c

A this talk about Teen Wolf 2.0 just shows how much this show has changed. And not for the better. I dropped Teen Wolf earlier this season and as much as I love the characters the storyline are just awful and the plots are way too confusing.

then why do you still care about teen wolf? you’re here reading an article about it.

As I said I still like the characters. I always liked Stylidia and I was a fan of the show for about 5 years. I have every right to read an article and comment on a show I invested time in.

He didnt say that your not allowed to read it, at all..JUst curious as to why you would read an article about characters of a show that you dont like?? thats fair enough!

You can no longer like a show and still be interested in where it’s going. Those things aren’t mutually exclusive.

I have to say I don’t think I’d be as interested in a show about the newbies. Liam is going to be the lead werewolf someday? No thanks! Sounds like the main cast has expiring contracts and Jeff Davis is trying to convince us the new kids are worth watching.

Watch this awful writers as usual tease every and any ship that has Dylan and Stiles attached to it because what else can he do, with his falling ratings and awful writing he needs to cling to the most popular lead character and popular actor, and watch Idiot Stydia and Stalia shippers not only fall for it, but create a war between them because of a man who is never gonna deliver anything with substance in his story

I was not a fan of this entire season and glad to see it end. I’m hoping for a better season 6. One thing that would make it better is dropping the character of Kira. She adds nothing to the series.

I agree with you. This season was not what they promised it would be.

I agree with the whole Kira thing, but still love Arden herself!

Allisons coming back most deff and why i say that is bc they kept the crystal reed episode from us for like 7 months and those foot prints look like a girls foot prints and they talked about allison for like 5 minutes and then they show foot prints come one its obvious its either allison or marie jeane

As much as I’d like her back. Its definitely not her literally everything in the series tells you it is a nazi soldier alpha. Sorry to crush that theory for you.

Also when Alison was killed off they asked Jeff ” why did you guys kill her off?

and he replied ” The thing with Teen Wolf is our characters never really die”.

no no no no! I don’t like the sound of this. Stalia makes more sense than Stydia will ever make sense. uggggg jeff so silly.

Oh my gosh I agree stiles and Malia have to get back together before anything else

Just sounds completely like Davis is willing to do everything fandom’s begged for all this time. OTPs Scallison and Stydia being re-established, Kira and Malia going away, and the gay black character survives to a promise of screentime and a relationship next season.

He really wants this show to feel relevant again, but we’ll see if its too late.

It’s been too late for the show to be relevant since the end of 3B.

Please stop with the Stydia baiting. Stiles and Lydia are better as friends. They’ve established a nice solid friendship. Let’s leave it at that.

actually, Jeff Davis directed stiles and lydia for the kiss in season 3A and asked lydia to act as tho the kiss felt something more than she expected. He said on Afterbuzz TV, you can check it out on Youtube. They been slowly working it out since season 3.

And Jeff Davis also said, at NY Comic Con, that he purposefully hinted at Stiles being bi so I don’t believe a word that comes out of his mouth.

Agreed. Romantic Stydia is cliché and they are both better single or with other love interest.

Who cares if it’s cliché?! I’m so tired of people griping about clichés. Fact: All storylines at some point are gonna be cliché because stuff gets recycled. If you’re expecting hugely original storytelling 24/7 it’s just not gonna happen. Bring on Stydia.

I wonder if season 6 will be the last season of Teen Wolf? Because some TV shows should end and not dragged out like SuperNatural that was on for 0ver 10 seasons.

I love Teen Wolf and can’t wait for Season 6. The amount of people that comment on the MTV instagram page should be enough evidence for the cast and writer to know how much people love the show and want more. Anyway Good luck Jeff Davis, Cast and everyone else. : )

Jeff Davis has baled, he’s put on a life preserver and got off this sinking ship!

Stydia Stydia Stydia!!!! Can’t wait to see them season 6!!

Those who aren’t on board with Stiles and Lydia clearly haven’t understood their relationship. Yes, they are AMAZING friends. But THAT is exactly why they would work and most likely be endgame. The way their relationship has developed is only a testament to the bond that will forever be a part of their lives.

In my opinion, and I’m not trying to offend anybody, even though I will, I think you should chill with the ships. I honestly do not care that much. Although, I do feel like if certain people were together, it’d be weird (such as Scott and Lydia). Although, I highly doubt a Stiles and Lydia thing will happen, as Jeff Davis stated that Malia and Lydia are growing closer, and I’m sure she wouldn’t date her newly found friend’s ex.

Whatever I just want more Cory and Mason!!!!

Are the calavaras coming back the Hispanic family hunters in season6 will they be hunting la loba aka Kate argent

Not sure I like the sound of a Teen Wolf 2.0? Although Liam, Mason and now Corey have grown on me the show just wouldn’t feel right without Scott, Stiles and Lydia. Scott is just graduating high school and has at least a couple more years as a teenager before they need to call him Man-Wolf or Wolfman.

I was kind of disappointed with this episode. I mean, Parrish lost a fight to the beast, and so did Scott. The only two people I was hoping would be some kind of threat. I also don’t like how Scott started to walk towards Theo when he asked for help. Like, he just threw your friend into a hole and paralyzed you with venom. We were promised Scott would have a darker side to him, and he’d be a bada** alpha this half of the season. Yeah, he roared a few times, that’s nothing. Lydia was the hero this episode, overall. I know she hasn’t had many heroic moments and they thought it was time, but this one should’ve been handed to Scott or Parrish. They also promised us a big fight between the Beast and the Hell hound. We barely saw them hit each other. I’m guessing I just went into this episode expecting too much. Also at the end, when Cory caught Mason, I instantly thought “This [guy] couldn’t man up for once and actually try to do something?” and when they got closer, I started to think “They better not kiss… if they kiss I’m done for ever. This is no time for kissing.” Overall, I did like the conversation between Sebastian and Sheriff Stilinski, and I also liked the unmasking of the Dread Doctor scene.

” We were promised Scott would have a darker side to him, and he’d be a bada** alpha this half of the season. Yeah, he roared a few times, that’s nothing.” <- Thats all what i want to say. There was nothing. Its one of the biggest reason why i whatch this tv-series, because I want to see that Scott is boss and Truealpha.

If you read the article, you’ll see the issue with Parrish was done on purpose. It leaves open was this really the fight that he was destined for, or is it something else.

I think people need to start bracing themselves for Scott, Stiles and Lydia, at minimum, to be written out of the show in S6. JD keeps talking about a teen wolf 2.0 and handing things off. He’s got Liam and Mason aka Scott and Stiles, now Hayden aka Allison. The problem is that between the increasingly thin plot lines and rushed character arcs, not to mention replacing Scott and Stiles is impssible, I don’t see Teen Wolf 2.0 going the distance.

Me neither. Teen Wolf 2.0 is crazy talk. Teen Wolf is not Degrassi!!!!!!

I hope Deucalion stays around for season 6. Bring back the self proclaimed demon wolf, give him the dread doctors cane, and a good storyline. Maybe he can finally be Scott’s mentor ? I was really hoping Deucalion would find a way to steal the Beasts’ power. Can’t wait for season 6!

Am I the only one who wishes that the ghost thing of La Bête du Gévaudan got away at the end? I just think that he was such a sick and insanely powerful villian and had a very interesting myth/true story behind him.

I was hoping for that. To be honest I was hoping for Deucalion to swoop in and take the power once the beast lost his physical form. Or for it to fuse with Parrish ( Cerberus ). I knew Deucalion was using his alpha eyes to see the whole time, so I was expecting more there.

I feel like if he was going to get his power taken from him it should’ve been by Scott since he hasn’t really been a very strong werewolf even though he is a true alpha. But I just think that La Bête is like end game, he is like I said insanely powerful and I’d say without a doubt the biggest threat the pack has faced. That’s why I wanted him to get away cause when they decide which season is going to be the last I wanted him to return has the villian.

I felt the finale was a weaker episode as too much happened in just 40 minutes . They said in the beginning of the season that the show will be darker which it was for the most part . But what I truly understand by that is that the heroes suffer collateral damage. They killed Theo temporarily I guess , killed the Beast who they developed for the full season and probably killed the Desert Wolf who they teased from the last season. I like the Supernatural genre and I like this show but it could have been better…………lastly I want to mention that I am happy that Scott had a plan just like in season 2 he had one which unfolded at the last moment.

He’s got a role in ‘Fifty Shades Darker’ and left Beacon Hills behind for good!

A more reckless and restless generation sent to keep beacon hill safe. U love it. It will give us a chance to have more diversity on the show while examining youth culture and generational gaps.

No Teen Wolf 2.0. Won’t watch it. Stick with the original then end it.

The episode had it’s high points but overall felt lacking. It was just too much going on and the pacing was just abyssmal. I’m also disappointed in the writing as of this season particularly for the character of Kira I thought she had a lot of potential going on for this season but it seems as though her story arc just was getting put on the back burner this season. One last point that left me on the fence was in this interview, regarding the term “Teen Wolf 2.0” things have definitely changed since season 1 but the idea of carrying on the show without Scott, Stiles, Lydia, heck even Kira and Malia, would seem depressing. I’d rather the show not go down the path of tv shows like degrassi. It starts the original characters and I think it should end with them.

I thought it was awesome how Deucalion was on Scott’s side the whole time!! And it was great to have them show Allison as the savior of Scott’s life. But I continue to be disappointed at the lack of Scott’s ‘True Alpha’ powers…seems like he has never really showed any true power. Does anyone else remeber back in the season of the deadpool when he’s about to kill an assassin and he slowly transforming into a crazy looking beast??? I was expecting that from him this season!!

And can someone explain to me where this Nazi soldier Alpha came from??? I thought the soldier was Sebastian who drank water from the wolfs par print???

” But I continue to be disappointed at the lack of Scott’s ‘True Alpha’ powers…seems like he has never really showed any true power. Does anyone else remeber back in the season of the deadpool when he’s about to kill an assassin and he slowly transforming into a crazy looking beast??? I was expecting that from him this season!! ”

^ Thats what im thinking too! Cuz they said that Scott will be bada*ss alpha and leader for his pack. So i thought that they show to us Scott’s true power. But there was nothing like that. Every episode just waiting what Scott gonna do, because wanna see so badly Scotts power!

This season was decent for the most part but I have to say my favorite is the last one with Void stiles, the onis, and berzerkers.That season was much darker.

One thing what I want for season 6 is that we’ll see more Scott being alpha. I mean that when the alphamoment comes, it only takes seconds. Maybe those moments cant be longer, but if there can be more those moments. Focus that Scott is truealpha!

I got some really great ideas on how we should go at season 6.

I know I’ll upset some people, but I feel Parrish should be the one ending up with Lydia. Him and her just work. As for Stiles, him and her make better friends then I think they do as a couple.

I want to see more of the storyline of Stiles and his mom! (And I’m exciting to see what happens with him and Lydia). Basically anything where we get to see more of O’Brien!

exactly ..i think its time to make stiles the focal point of the show

I am really sorry to say I’m going to stop watching this show….

I’ve been a fan since the beginning, and even tought mostly every person i know told me this show sucked, i defended it every time.

When season 5a started i actually tought it was one of the best plots ever. I mean, we’ve known the beast since season one, and now we’ll be facing it.

But Jeff Davis is so freaking desesperate for views, and instead of making a good Scott Alpha scene or some good pack scenes, he just puts some stydia because he knows how needy the fans are.

And in my opinion, stydia scenes RUIN this whole season. They put one scene in every freaking good one, i mean, the whole pack saved her, and “stiles saved me” or the stupid hand touching… Isnt this SCOTTS story?! Isnt TEEN WOLF the name? We barely know whats going in whit Scott! And the other characters just are there… The whole dessert wolf thing didnt even matter to the pack, the only ones that ever asked where Kira and Melissa. It was like malia wasnt even part of the pack.

Kira just keep on desapearing because its clearly that jeff has no freaking idea in where yo put her!

Parrish was THE hellhound, and yet jeff gets to make Him irrelevant. I really wanted to see more of him, but no, of course, lydia and stiles are way more important.

And DEUCALION was there… He was a demon wolf for gods sake!! And no one cared. Scott knew that Theo got him, but no… More screen time to stydia holding hands, of course!!

Stydia ruin this season, i tought this show was way more than a cliché thing. I really wanted to see a lot more of Scott, malia, Parrish, Liam and Kira… Because guess what? They are part of the show believe it or not!! So, after reading this “big thing” between stiles and lydia, I’m done. They didnt even asked about Scott in this interview… And he is the main character. I’m tired about stiles and lydia, They are freaking overrated and irrelevant. So thanks jeff for ruin a good material for a show! Thanks for making teen wolf a kindergarden show! This is my opinion. May not match yours.

Sorry for typos, inglish it’s not my main language

I found the ending a little unsatisfying. It felt shortcut. There was not enough explanation about all the doublecrosses that suddenly happened between the Argents, Deucalion, etc. Just suddenly everyone was working with everyone else out of nowhere. In fact, the Argent’s participation this whole season didn’t really fit to me other than to tie in the history, but they weren’t really very involved. I think maybe for once they had too many characters running around to give a satisfying story.

Its funny…I see a lot of people on here being critical of the “Teen Wolf 2.0” that is mentioned in the article and jumping to the conclusion that that means the plan is for Scott, Styles, and Lydia to move on and the show refocus on Liam, Hayden, Mason, etc….that’s exactly where I’ve been hoping/expecting things were heading this season. The actors clearly aren’t teens anymore, nothing is worse than a show where they drag out high school for 8 or 10 years.

What about Lydia and Pharris? I think they’re really cute together! And Stiles en Malia have to get back together, in my opinion. I love to see Stiles en Lydia, but I think Lydia en Pharris would be great together.

I think its time to include some vampires in the show ..vampires vs werewolf would be amqzing

They honor Allison but not one word is said about Derek Hale or Isaac or Danny or any of the other revolving door, throw away characters. What a load of crap!
