Teen Wolf Preview: The Season of Dread

As Season 5 draws near, the official cold open from the two-part premiere of Teen Wolf has recently been released and, let me tell you, it is a tease and a half.

From the looks of it, in “Creatures of the Night” Lydia (Holland Roden) has found herself in some pretty hot water (pun possibly intended) and has gotten herself locked up in Eichen House, left in the hands of one of quite possibly the creepiest male orderlies of all time (say it with me: cringe).

On the plus side, it looks like our girl has learned some new tricks since last season — which, really, leaves this viewer with even more questions. Lord knows we’ve all been waiting for Lydia to harness her abilities and show the world what she’s made of. So bravo to her for going totally Black Widow Banshee on some Eichen House a-holes.

According to show star and new producer Tyler Posey (Scott McCall), Season 5 (also known as “the Season of Dread”) will be the first Teen Wolf season to feature a villain who will carry on into the next season. That tells me that this will not be an easy road, because these Dread Doctors that our lovable misfit heroes are going to be dealing with are obviously a formidable foe.

But, then again, when have things ever been easy for Scott and his pack?

Nevertheless: as Scott, Lydia, Stiles (Dylan O’brien), Kira (Arden Cho), and Malia (Shelley Hennig) head in to their senior year, it looks like things are only going to get worse from here on out.

Who are the Dread Doctors? What’s their endgame? And when did Lydia learn how to fight?!

Check out the clip below, and watch Lydia kick all kinds of ass!
