Teen Wolf: First Look At Dylan O'Brien In Season 6

Much to the delight of Teen Wolf fans everywhere, Dylan O'Brien will be returning to the show for its big sixth season.

It is something that had recently come into question, due to the injuries the actor incurred while filming The Maze Runner: The Death Cure. The production on Death Cure has been pushed back, but fans of that series are hopeful O'Brien can return to the set soon. In the meantime, you can see him on Teen Wolf reprising his role as Stiles Stilinski.

Showrunner Jeff Davis recently spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the actors return, and the size of the part he will play in season six.

"Stiles is a big part of the season because a lot of this season's mystery revolves around him," Davis says. "We're going to see just what Stiles' friendship means to Scott, Lydia, and Malia. We're going to see why exactly he's Scott's best friend, what it means that he's Malia's human anchor, and what his will-they-or-won't-they relationship is with Lydia."

Even after the injury, the producers haven't changed the course. The plan was always for O'Brien to be a big part of the plot for the upcoming episodes.

"When we were going into discussing this season, knowing that Dylan O'Brien had a big movie he was going off to do, we wanted to make sure that Stiles was going to be a very important part of Teen Wolf 6A," Davis says. "So a lot of this story is about Stiles."

Teen Wolf returns to MTV later this year.
