Why Stiles Was Barely In Teen Wolf Season 6

Stiles (Dylan O’Brien) was barely in Teen Wolf’ season 6, leading some viewers to wonder why the fan-favorite character was absent for the final season. The MTV teen-horror drama, which was based on the original 1985 movie that starred Michael J. Fox, ran for six years before it wrapped up. Many fans were surprised by the series’ ending, given there was no prior indication that the end was coming for the series, and the creators showed no indication that they might have been looking to end the story of the gang from Beacon Hills. Even though the show ended, fans and long-time viewers were still excited for what was coming in the future for the main characters, especially the two leads of the show Scott McCall (Tyler Posey) and Stiles Stilinski.

While the character of Scott was the titular character of Teen Wolf, Stiles was just as important to the narrative of the show. As the son of Sheriff Noah Stilinski (Linden Ashby), O’Brien’s character was the peppier and more adventurous one of the two friends, and his curious nature often resulted in a range of unforeseen circumstances that played an important role in the plot. In Teen Wolf season 1, Stiles decided to seek out a dead body in the woods for no other reason than he thought it would be fun, which led to Scott being bitten by a werewolf – effectively causing him to have supernatural abilities. Stiles’ sense of responsibility and loyalty to his best friend meant that he would stay by Scott’s side fighting off other supernatural creatures and protecting the town of Beacon Hills.

Unlike Scott, Stiles never got any super-abilities; despite this, he was an indispensable member of their growing pack. As the son of a skilled police officer, he had a penchant for cracking codes and tracing clues that helped “teen wolf” Scott and the team in their endeavors. So it was disappointing for a lot of fans when the character was barely in Teen Wolf season 6 since it was their final chance to see him and Scott team-up for their last hurrah.

Why Dylan O’Brien Left Teen Wolf

This wasn’t intentional, however, and if it was up to Teen Wolf’s producers and writers, not to mention O’Brien, Stiles would’ve played a much bigger role in the show’s farewell season. They were forced to use the character in a limited fashion due to a couple of reasons. First, there was scheduling conflict between the show and Maze Runner: The Death Cure which O’Brien played the lead character, Thomas. This is the reason why Stiles didn’t appear in every episode of Teen Wolf season 6’s first 10 episode — the first time that this happened since the show premiered. Things only got worse for the series’ latter half as O’Brien was eventually involved in a stunt accident during the filming of the same movie in March 2016. As it turns out, O’Brien’s injuries were more serious than initially perceived — so much so that production for the Fox film was shut down for a while. This obviously made it more difficult to bring Stiles in a regular manner in Teen Wolf season 6B. In fact, O’Brien revealed in an interview with Bustle that he wasn’t contractually obligated to appear in the show’s remaining episodes.

In the end, Teen Wolf was able to pull off a satisfying finale for the Beacon Hills gang. Not only did they find a way to bring back Stiles in the final 10 episodes which took place after a time jump, but it also gave them the opportunity to re-incorporate Derek Hale (Tyler Hoechlin) into the story. Granted that it wasn’t the ideal scenario as fans would’ve wanted to see Stiles more involved in the action with Scott, the show was able to make the best out of the predicament that they were in. There may yet be an opportunity for fans of the series to see Dylan O’Brien back in his role of Stiles in the Teen Wolf revival movie, which is confirmed to be in production for Paramount+ with Tyler Posey returning and no other confirmed casting announcements.
