Everyone is waiting for "Teen Wolf" on Netflix Italy The platform doesn’t seem willing to satisfy the fans but there are other werewolves waiting for them soon

Teen Wolf is back on Netflix. Yes, but not Netflix Italy. Fans are agonizing over the idea that the platform is depriving them of yet another rewatch, just like it happened with the streaming return of another generational cult such as The Vampire Diaries, vocally demanding that the beloved title be added back to their library, with its comeback coinciding with the anniversary that could be used to celebrate the series.

In 2026, it will be fifteen years since the show created by Jeff Davis first aired, an important milestone that reflects the over-decade-long impact it has had on an entire generation, which still gathers online, on social media, and in fandoms, keeping alive the memory of Scott McCall, Stiles Stilinski, Lydia Martin, Derek Hale, and Allison Argent.

What should we expect?

After all, the next few years could be dedicated to werewolves. After focusing on vampires in 2025, Robert Eggers bids farewell to Nosferatu starring Bill Skarsgård (technically released in the USA in December 2024, but only coming to us in the new year) to welcome his next upcoming project: Werwulf, in which he gathers some of his regular actors to bring to the big screen the story of a mysterious figure roaming the English lands in the 13th century.

Once again, the filmmaker draws from folkloric myths to breathe new life into them and insert them into dark cinematic universes, collaborating for the second time on the screenplay with Icelandic writer, poet, and lyricist Sjón, with whom he had already explored Viking traditions and mythologies in The Northman (2022). Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Lily-Rose Depp, and Willem Dafoe dabble in Middle English in this story, expected to be very dark, according to Eggers, continuing his exploration of gloomy and fantastical creatures.

A way, hopefully, to make amends for the wrong done by a film like Wolf Man to all the werewolves out there. Far from being the worst title of 2025, yet difficult not to criticize, the work was written and directed by Leigh Whannell, who had shown his skill with monsters in 2020 when he handled the story of The Invisible Man. Unfortunately, the same didn’t happen with the reboot of the 1941 namesake film, from which even the protagonist played by Christopher Abbott didn’t emerge well.

What does its return imply?

If Teen Wolf returned in time on Netflix, it could help reignite the passion for werewolves, potentially benefiting Werwulf. A fascination never fully extinguished, also thanks to the Twilight renaissance, but this time the creatures, with their sharp claws, would be the main focus of public attention, not just side characters in a love story.

Since Eggers’ film requires a full year of waiting (just like Nosferatu, expected at Christmas), the platform could find a spot on the calendar to make the series’ fans happy, which would also surely attract new audiences. If the 2016 trend taught us not to underestimate nostalgia, the same policy applies to audiovisual products, as many titles have long demonstrated (Stranger Things, in particular).

On top of this affection for bygone times, today, highly loved and popular products like Teen Wolf go viral on social media in an instant, generating endless content that could spark curiosity in younger generations who didn’t experience the phenomenon on MTV when it originally aired, prompting them to catch up and drive views on the platform. Considering that supernatural content tends to perform well on streaming platforms—just like romance (or fantasy/romance)—Netflix has everything to gain from welcoming the series back. We want to believe it. Perhaps, who knows, just wait for the next full moon.
