TheTeen Wolf: The Moviepanel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con has confirmed that the newTeen Wolfspin-off seriesWolf Packwill be led bySarah Michelle Gellar. Having spent her younger years fighting vampires as Buffy Summers, Gellar will now be heading into werewolf territory for the new series. According toDeadline, the series will see Gellar’s character enlisted “by authorities to catch the teenage arsonist who started a massive wildfire which may have also led to the reawakening of a supernatural predator terrorizing Los Angeles."
Wolf Packwill be based on the books of Edo Van Belkom, which “follows a teenage boy, Everett (Armani Jackson) and a girl, Blake (Bella Shepard), whose lives are forever changed when a California wildfire awakens a terrifying supernatural creature. Wounded in the chaos of its attack, the teens are inexplicably drawn to each other and to two others, Luna and Harlan (Chloe Rose Robertson and Tyler Lawrence Gray, respectively), who were adopted sixteen years earlier by a park ranger after another mysterious wildfire. As the full moon rises, all four teens come together to unravel the secret that connects them — the bite and blood of a werewolf."

The Teen Wolf Franchise Finally Continues With Teen Wolf: The Movie
While the announcement about Sarah Michelle Gellar’s involvement inWolf Packwas an exciting addition to theTeen Wolfpanel, especially with the actress appearing in person, the main event was the release of the trailer forTeen Wolf: The Movie, which finally picks up where the popular series left off when it was canceled.
Teen Wolforiginally ran for six seasons starting in 2011, and its cancelation was not well received by the legion of fans the show had picked up. Now the sequel movie will see the return of pretty much the whole cast, and is expected to pick up on some of the story threads left by the series. The synopsis for the movie reads:
“A full moon rises in Beacon Hills, and with it a terrifying evil has emerged. The wolves are howling once again, calling for the return of Banshees, Werecoyotes, Hellhounds, Kitsunes and every other shapeshifter in the night. But only a Werewolf like Scott McCall, no longer a teenager yet still an Alpha, can gather both new allies and reunite trusted friends to fight back against what could be the most powerful and deadliest enemy they’ve ever faced.”
Tyler Hoechlin will return as Derek Hale in the movie and will be joined by Tyler Pose as Scott McCall, Holland Roden as Lydia Martin, Shelley Hennig as Malia Tate, Crystal Reed as Allison Argent, Orny Adams as Coach Bobby Finstock, Linden Ashby as Sheriff Noah Stilinski, JR Bourne as Chris Argent, Seth Gilliam as Dr. Alan Deaton, Colton Haynes as Jackson Whittemore, Ryan Kelley as Deputy Jordan Parrish, Melissa Ponzio as Melissa McCall, and Dylan Sprayberry as Liam Dunbar.
