Summer is here which also means new TV is here! Things have sure changed since the early 2000’s when nothing was on during the summer except daytime TV like The Price is Right and General Hospital. Or, at night, there was only one show you cared about, like The O.C. (I still miss you *tear*). These days, I need a calendar to keep track of all of the shows premiering and returning in the next few weeks!

Teen Wolf (2011)

Before you question my judgement on watching a show on MTV that stars a bunch of teenagers (but only a few are actual teens) try it out, because it’s become a giant hit – gaining tons of crowds at Comic-Con and was featured in a recent issue of Entertainment Weekly. I’ve watched this show since Season 1 and the cast and writers have really proven themselves. It’s not just about some teen wolves playing basketball – they play lacrosse. Teen Wolf incorporates mythology and new monsters in every season which is what I love about this show. It’s dark, filled with action, and funny. The cast has such great chemistry!

Our favorite Beacon Hills students begin their senior year in Season 5 and it doesn’t look like they’ll be too stressed with prom or college…since, ya know, monsters are back in Beacon Hills. This group never catch a break. It will be interesting to see what happens without Derek Hale (Tyler Hoechlin) as a series regular. We know Peter has been sent to, as Coach puts it, “the nut house” so I’m sure we haven’t seen the last of him. There is also talk of a familiar face coming back to Beacon Hills in the season premiere. I’ve heard mixed things, but I want (and hope) it’s Isaac (Daniel Sharman). His character was killed off of from The Originals and I really miss his presence on Teen Wolf. It was almost too much getting rid of him and Allison (Crystal Reed) in one season, but they managed to write a pretty great fourth season with the introduction of new characters – so I can only assume we won’t be disappointed in Season 5- especially if we go back to its roots with our favorite bromance of Scott (Tyler Posey) and Stiles (Dylan O’Brien).

Based on this promo we can prepare for more fights, a new “lone” wolf, a robotic monster with needles (the doctor?), and Lydia (Holland Roden), our favorite Banshee, institutionalized.

Catch up on all four seasons now on Amazon Prime and watch the Season 5 premiere on Monday, June 29 at 10/9c on MTV.
