Teen Wolf's Lydia Actor Reignites Fans' Excitement with Unexpected Return: Unveiling the Surprising Secrets!

Summary

Holland Roden, who played Lydia in Teen Wolf, expressed her passion for returning to the franchise, citing how the show changed her life and introduced her to her best friends.

Stiles' absence in the Teen Wolf movie left numerous fans disappointed, sparking criticism towards the storyline. However, there is a possibility for a future movie to tackle his absence and pave the way for a more significant comeback. Despite the mixed critical feedback of the initial film, its groundbreaking viewership numbers have the potential to enhance the likelihood of another Teen Wolf movie being produced.

Holland Roden, who played the role of Lydia Martin in the popular MTV show Teen Wolf, expressed her excitement and enthusiasm about the possibility of returning for another installment. She fondly recalled her time on the show, mentioning how it helped catapult her into fame and introduced her to lifelong friends. During an exclusive interview with Screen Rant for her new psychological horror movie Mother, May I?, Roden passionately shared her thoughts on reprising her role in the supernatural franchise.

I am incredibly grateful for Teen Wolf as it not only changed my life but also had a significant impact on my personal growth. I started working on the show while I was in college and continued until I was 31, so I will always be indebted to Teen Wolf with immense joy and gratitude. If Jeff ever approaches me, I am always eager to listen and be a part of the next chapter. Recently, I worked on a movie where another character was named Lydia, and it was quite surreal for me. It was challenging to see someone else being called Lydia in the movie, as I felt a personal connection to the name. Despite this, I remain open to new opportunities. Teen Wolf allowed me to create Mother, May I?, and I will forever remember that the reason I am in this industry is because of that show. I am grateful for the lifelong friendships I have made with Colton Haynes, Ian Bohen, and Shelley Hennig. Shelley is an absolute joy, and I love her dearly. When I say she's a mess, it's just her unique and lively energy that sets her apart. Crystal now resides in New York, but we all stay connected and are excited for what the future holds.

Teen Wolf Needs Another Movie To Fix Stiles' Absence

Despite high anticipation among fans, Teen Wolf: The Movie faced skepticism for not having O'Brien return as Stiles due to rushed development and production. Discussions were had between creator Jeff Davis and O'Brien about bringing back Stiles through a cameo or a few days of shooting, but they ultimately agreed to exclude the character from the story. O'Brien's absence became a criticized aspect of the movie, with viewers feeling Lydia's revelation went against the show's core themes. The character's father, Chief Stilinski, revealed that Stiles was now working with the FBI and dealing with bigger issues, but the movie does not explain his absence or show any attempts from Lydia or his friends to contact him.

Davis confirmed shortly after the movie's release that Lydia and Stiles could reconcile, which highlights the need for another Teen Wolf movie to explore Stiles' absence and provide a more significant storyline for his return. As the movie concluded with Derek's self-sacrifice, it would be intriguing to witness Stiles' reaction to the death of his pack's leader and see him and Lydia confront her premonition of his demise. While the possibility of another Teen Wolf movie remains uncertain due to mixed critical reviews of the initial installment, its record-breaking viewership could improve its likelihood.
