The Teen Wolf franchise consists of American supernatural-teen drama installments released through various media including: two theatrical films and an animated television series based on the movies; a live-action reboot show, its streaming exclusive movie continuation, and a spin-off series which follows the ending of the film. Based on an original story by Jeph Loeb and Matthew Weisman, the plot of each release centers around adolescent individuals who are not a part of the popular crowd amongst their peers, whose lives change once they become werewolves allowing them to gain superhuman abilities through supernatural means. The franchise additionally includes a 1989 standalone spin-off film that was initially released in theaters which centers around a teenage witch, as well as its stage musical adaptation.
The franchise has been met with mixed reception critically.[1][2][3][4][5][6] The 1985 original movie was met with a muddled critical acknowledgement with mixed praise upon release,[7] while conversely its sequel received mostly negative response.[8] Despite this, both films turned a profit at the box office for the studio.[9][10] The 1989 standalone spin-off movie was a critical and financial failure upon release, though subsequent re-releases as well as television airings have accumulated a strong fanbase,[11] with the film earning its status as a cult classic by modern analysis.[12] The animated series was produced by one of Hanna-Barbera's animation studios and received warm reception from viewers, which lead to a second season being greenlit and developed to include the lead characters of the original movies meeting on screen.[13] The reimagied dark and gritty live-action reboot television series received positive reception from critics and audiences alike,[5] allowing the network to renew the show for six seasons.[14] The 2023 revival streaming film which continued the story from the series was also met with mixed reception from critics who ranged from praising its use of fan service,[15][16] to critiquing its delivery.[17]
