Teen Wolf Explained: Did Derek Hale Really Die? Why Did He Die?
The hit supernatural YA series from the early 2010s,Teen Wolf, has another instalment out now. From MTV and Jeff Davis, the same creative team of the series, comes a new horror-esque movie which is set a few years after the events of the show.
The official plot of the film is as thus: “A full moon rises in Beacon Hills, and with a terrifying evil has emerged. The wolves are howling once again, calling for the return of Banshees, Werecoyotes, Hellhounds, Kitsunes, and every other shapeshifter in the night. But only a werewolf like Scott McCall, no longer a teenager yet still an Alpha, can gather both new allies and reunite trusted friends to fight back against what could be the most powerful and deadliest enemy they’ve ever faced.”
The group finds themselves now back in the stadium, empty and at night. They are all safe. They have a service for Derek, where Scott tells everyone what he did and meant to him. Allison and Scott celebrate that they are back together. Finally, Adrian Harris is taken to the Eichen House, which is a detention facility. The final scene shows Eli on top of the hill looking over the city. His eyes are glowing and he has full power over his abilities.
According to show creator Jeff Davis, the descision to kill off Derek was not easy: “You second-guess yourself all the time,” he stated “You say, ‘Are we really doing this? Maybe we should plan something that’ll bring him back.’ But there’s also part of you that wants to commit.”
There are other deaths in the film of course, including a brutal kill of a Kitsune-turned-police officer, but they’re all of characters we don’t really know. Meanwhile, Derek is a character that has been present since Season 1, and fans will certainly miss the show’s resident sour-wolf. During his funeral near the film’s end, you can really feel how impactful he was to the other characters.Allison surprisingly stays alive, and she and Scott are seemingly going to live out their days happily together. This ending makes you wonder if that’s what the show was planning from the start, with the ship Scallison as endgame.
The fact that Stiles wasn’t there already makes this movie not canon, but killing Derek? No. I’m sorry, but Derek Hale lives happily ever after, in my mind.
With a little encouragement from his dad, Derek’s 15-year-old son Eli (don’t even get me started on that!) finally transforms into the werewolf he was born to be. Father and son fight the evil demon Nogitsune side-by-side, along with Scott. Eli gets thrown to the side, and Derek and Scott struggle to contain the demon. They have to kill the demon somehow, and one easy way would be to have Jordan Parrish, their resident hellhound, light the demon on fire. But someone has to hold the demon while they burn him. (Do they? Could he not have just dodged out of the way?)
Parrish does, and both Derek and the demon burn to a crisp in a fiery ball of destruction. And just in case you thought there might be a chance that Derek survived that encounter, Davis literally hammers the nail in Derek’s coffin by staging a funeral scene for the former alpha werewolf. (Which, I might add, Stiles does not show up for. In what universe would Stiles not attend Derek’s funeral?!) Scott says some words about found family, which is nice, but it feels hollow in light of the fact that Derek definitely did not have to die.
