Teen Wolf

The new TV series Teen Wolf  started in the UK a few weeks ago. It's based on the Michael J Fox film about a teenager who becomes a werewolf. Scott McCall (Tyler Posey) is a typical American teenager. Just before school starts he goes into the woods with his friend Stiles (Dylan O'Brien), looking for a body. When Stiles' dad (who is a policeman) shows up, Scott hides from him and is left alone. He is pursued and then bitten by a wolf. Afterwards he discovers he is changing in unexpected ways, not only is he faster and stronger (which improves his performance on the school lacrosse team) but he also transforms into a werewolf on full moon nights (or when he gets angry)! Around the same time, he meets new girl Allison (Crystal Reed), whose dad happens to be a werewolf hunter. Scott also comes across another werewolf, Derek (Tyler Hoechlin) who he suspects is the one who bit him. Derek denies this and tells Scott his attacker was another wolf, an "Alpha"  werewolf.
