Teen Wolf has been a smash hit for MTV, and the series will return in January for the second half of season five. The first trailer for the mid-season premiere was released at New York Comic-Con over the weekend, and fans were given their first look at the new challenges Scott, played by Tyler Posey, and his friends will face when the series returns.

Scott will have to team up with Theo to take on the Dread Doctors. Fans will also see the return of Chris Argent, played by J.R. Bourne.

Cody Christian teased a bit about the new big bad for the second half of season five to Entertainment Weekly. It is called The Beast.

“Because Jeff [Davis, the Teen Wolf executive producer] isn’t here, I think the best route would be to leave it very ambiguous. The name itself tells what this monster creature is. It’s a beast.”

Tyler Posey added a bit more detail.

“It’s ominous. It’s scary. But there’s not much we can say. Part of it is because we don’t know much about it, as actors.”

Jeff Davis also spoke about the upcoming episodes at NYCC, and fans can expect to see more fun. According to Vulture, he said that the show gets its sense of humor back in the second half of season five.
