Season 5A Description:
On the eve of Senior Year, Scott and his friends find themselves facing the possibility of a future without each other, a next phase of their lives that might take them in different directions despite their best intentions. Little do they know that outside forces are already plotting to break the pack apart long before they ever see graduation. New villains that use a combination of science and the supernatural for a malevolent and mysterious purpose that will eventually pit Scott and his friends against their greatest enemy yet.

Season 5A Character Bios:
SCOTT MCCALL (Tyler Posey) - Ever since the fateful night when he was bitten by Peter and turned into a werewolf, Scott and his pack have taken on any threat to come to Beacon Hills, be it Darach, Alpha Pack, deranged hunters or a thousand year old Japanese spirit. Now their greatest challenge lies before them: senior year. With his pack behind him, Scott prepares for the struggle of Senior Year, unaware of new threats gathering around him.

STILES STILINSKI (Dylan O'Brien) - Going into his Senior Year, Stiles remains hopeful for his friends to stay together well after graduation. Ever a thorn in his father's side, Stiles continues to find himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. But Sheriff Stilinski knows that Stiles always means well and will do absolutely anything for his friends.

LYDIA MARTIN (Holland Roden) - Despite being eligible for an early graduation, Lydia has decided to remain with her friends so they can be together for their final year of high school. She continues to hone her Banshee powers, with plenty left to learn. After years of hiding behind a false veneer, the true woman beneath has emerged to take her place in Scott's pack. She has also grown closer to Deputy Parrish while trying to help him wade through the mystery of his emerging powers.

KIRA YUKIMURA (Arden Cho) - Kira has finally found the group of friends that she's always wanted. She, Malia and Lydia couldn't be closer and her relationship with Scott is just about perfect. Both her Kitsune abilities and her sword remain sharper than ever. While she could not be more excited about Senior Year and the prospect of graduating with the group of friends she cares about so deeply, the Kitsune spirit inside her may have other plans.

MALIA TATE (Shelley Hennig) - To say that high school has been a struggle for Malia is an understatement. Having spent more time in the woods of Beacon Hills than out of them, Malia constantly feels the pressure to be normal. Surrounded by her friends and with Stiles at her side, Malia has found where she belongs in the world and is always ready to take on whatever comes her way - especially a fight.

LIAM DUNBAR (Dylan Sprayberry) - The newest member of Scott's pack and his first true Beta, Liam still struggles at times with the whole 'being a teen wolf' thing. But with Scott as his leader and mentor, they have continued to tame Liam's anger. This proves to be difficult at times since his best friend Mason has no idea what Liam is and what he's been up to with Scott's pack. To make matters worse, a familiar face from Liam's past resurfaces at the start of his Sophomore Year.

MASON HEWITT (Khylin Rhambo) - Ever at his best friend Liam's side, Mason is ready for his sophomore year. But he knows there's something weird about Beacon Hills, something lurking just under the surface. After he and Lydia were attacked by a Berserker, Mason is ready for more than just a glimpse of whatever is really going on. He wants to dive right in. Unfortunately, he may get his chance sooner than he expects.

JORDAN PARRISH (Ryan Kelley) - After being mysteriously drawn to Beacon Hills, Parrish has settled into his role as a Sheriff's Deputy. He is determined to prove to Sheriff Stilinski that he's worthy of his trust despite his recent assignments consisting mostly of paperwork. With Lydia's help, Parrish continues his search for the meaning behind his supernatural powers, each of them unaware of the danger creeping ever closer as their lives become more entangled.

HAYDEN ROMERO (Victoria Moroles) - Starting her sophomore year, Hayden never expected Liam, her grade-school enemy, to step back into her life. Now she has to juggle work, school, a sister in the Sheriff's department, and the vengeance she seeks against Liam.

THEO RAEKEN (Cody Christian) - Theo never thought he'd ever return to Beacon Hills. When he learned that Scott McCall, his grade-school friend, was not only a werewolf, but a True Alpha, Theo knew that the time was right to come home to find a pack. When Theo seeks out Scott, he's automatically considered an outsider by Stiles. Now Theo must prove to Scott and the rest of the pack that he's worthy of their trust as well as their friendship. ​

My favorite summer show.

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

So far this season's off to a strong start. Senior year is finally upon Scott's pack, and there's a strong sense that this is the beginning of the end game for the show. After defeating Peter Hale and Kate Argent, Beacon Hills has enjoyed a six month lull from supernatural menaces. But while as Dr. Deaton had once comforted Scott by telling him that things always eventually revert to the mean, now that thought has come back to haunt him. In Beacon Hills, "normal" is not normal, and the pendulum was bound to swing back the other way...


The first hour was brilliantly bookended with scenes centered around Lydia at some future point, now institutionalized at Eichen House but in full bad ass command of her banshee powers. There seems to be a degree of psychological distortion at play in these scenes; instead of being held in his own secure cell, Dr. Valack seems to be running things -- and his insanity-inducing third eye is nowhere to be found. He wants know what happened to Lydia's friends, and what took down the True Alpha's pack. Lydia insists that she doesn't remember; she's too haunted by the visages of people long-dead. But reaching into her mind brings us back to just before senior year, when everything started to go wrong...


The three doctors, evidently the season's new big bad, are right up there with the Nogitsune amongst the show's creepiest villains.


Malia Tate/Malia Hale continues to be a brilliant source of comic relief. She's an easy character to like, because so little goes right for her.


The show still hasn't completely figured out to how utilize Kira Yukimura, but she's got a pretty awesome sword belt now.


Dylan O'Brien continues to be terrific as Stiles, even as his big screen career starts to take off. Once again, Stiles's spidey sense is going off, and once again he's the first to perceive that there's a problem.


There are a couple new werewolves in town, including a true shapeshifter, and neither would seem to bode well for Scott's pack. One appears to be a psychopath, and the other seems to be brainwashed by the doctors.


Liam also has a prickly new frenemy in school, motives and grudges (and supernatural tendencies?) currently unknown.


And perhaps most surprising of all, Scott's taking AP Biology as he starts to get serious about his desire to become a veterinarian.
