Teen Wolf (2022) is a streaming feature film based on the supernatural drama television series created by Jeff Davis. It's planned for the Paramount Plus streaming network owned by ViacomCBS.
Teen Wolf: The Movie is part of an overall three-project deal with Executive Producer Jeff Davis that will also include a new streaming show about werewolves. The new show, Wolf Pack is unrelated to Teen Wolf and is instead based on a series of novels by Canadian author Edo Van Belkom. Davis is also writing, directing and executive producing a new live-action series based on the Æon Flux animated series.

Production
Production officially began at Teen Wolf HQ (Capital Arts Stages and Standing Sets) in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles on March 21, 2022. Actors filmed on existing Beacon Hills sets (High School, McCall House, Sheriff's Station, underground tunnels) during the first couple of weeks before moving into Capital Arts studios and various locations in Atlanta, Georgia on Monday April 4, 2022.
While rain hampered location shooting during the first three days in Atlanta, the production made due inside filming driving shots in front of large screens to simulate traffic. The familiar Stilinski Jeep (affectionally known as Roscoe) was seen on set during this time.
On Thursday April 7, Ian Bohen, Melissa Ponzio, JR Bourne, Eli Mattis, Tyler Posey, Shelley Hennig, Crystal Reed, and Holland Roden began filming in a wooded area just outside the city. The location included dense forest and a small river.
On April 25, production moved into Fifth Third Bank Stadium on the campus of Kennesaw State University. Several days were spent filming a Lacrosse game and a big action sequence with more than 15 named characters involved during a night shoot on Wednesday, April 27, 2022. Orny Adams, Amy Lin Workman, Dylan Sprayberry, Khylin Rhambo, Seth Gilliam, Colton Haynes and Linden Ashby were among those shooting at Kennesaw State during the week.
Casting
Shortly after the announcement, Tyler Posey publicly stated that he would return and Davis said he was hopeful to get much of the original cast back to Beacon Hills.
On February 15, 2022, Paramount+ released a partial cast list[1] confirming much of what Teen Wolf News reported earlier. In addition to those actors already reported to be returning, Crystal Reed, Ryan Kelley, Orny Adams, and Seth Gilliam will appear. The full list from the official announcement as well as what Teen Wolf News has learned from other sources is below.
Attempts were made to include Arden Cho and Dylan O'Brien, but no contracts resulted from those efforts[2].
On February 20, 2022, Teen Wolf News confirmed through sources within the production that Tyler Hoechlin will reprise his role as Derek Hale. In addition to acting in the new movie, Tyler is producing as well. He is reportedly working closely with the team despite being in Canada currently filming the second season of Superman and Lois.
Plot
The movie will continue the adventures of the Scott McCall Pack in Beacon Hills and will pick up several years after the events of Season 6 and the series finale. Davis is set to write and produce the film. Russell Mulcahy will return to direct.
A brief, nondescript synopsis was included in the initial announcement.
...a terrifying evil has emerged in the town of Beacon Hills. 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.

Sources close to the project say the number of new sign-ups to the Paramount+ streaming service will be the primary measure of success used when determining the future of the franchise.
