Teen Wolf

TV show · 2011

This six-season MTV supernatural drama follows teenager Scott McCall as he navigates high school life after being bitten by a werewolf, drawing in monsters, hunters, and increasingly dark storylines across its run. Violence, gore, and mature teen themes build noticeably as the seasons progress, making this a solidly older-teen title rather than one for younger children.

Confident teen viewers, roughly 14 and up, who enjoy supernatural drama and can handle recurring blood, creature violence, and mature romantic storylines.
