6-Part Fantasy Series That Spawned A 2023 Sequel Movie Is A Global Netflix Streaming Hit

by

An acclaimed fantasy TV show has just become a global hit on Netflix.

I have to say, I’m really impressed with how popular Teen Wolf has become! It’s shooting up the streaming charts, and it’s amazing to see a show find a new audience almost a decade after it originally wrapped. For those who don’t know, it’s based on the 80s movie, and each season follows Scott McCall, a high school student who happens to be a werewolf. He and his friends are constantly dealing with all sorts of supernatural dangers in their hometown of Beacon Hills, California – it’s a wild ride!

According to FlixPatrol, the series Teen Wolf is now a big hit on Netflix after becoming available internationally. As of March 6, 2026, it’s currently the eighth most popular show on Netflix globally. It’s performing especially well in Brazil, where it’s Number 2, and in several other countries including Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Honduras, and Martinique, where it’s Number 3.

Despite not initially ranking among the top 10 shows in the US, Teen Wolf is currently available for streaming on Netflix. Over its six seasons, the series received several awards, including multiple Saturn Awards for Best Teen Television Series, and won Best Ensemble at the 2013 Young Hollywood Awards.

Unlike the original movie, this series leans heavily into the supernatural. It features a wider range of creatures beyond werewolves, such as banshees, kitsune, and werecoyotes. Each season expands on the show’s mythology, offering fresh perspectives on its central themes.

The show benefited from strong critical acclaim throughout its run, consistently receiving positive reviews. Rotten Tomatoes reports an 81% average critic score and an impressive 86% audience score for Teen Wolf. Even when the storylines became more complex in later seasons, the show largely managed to keep its viewers engaged.

The original Teen Wolf series finished in 2017 and you can still watch it on Netflix. However, the story continues with new content exclusively on Paramount+. In 2023, they released Teen Wolf: The Movie, which brings Scott back to his hometown, Beacon Hills, after a long absence to face a new danger.

Reviews for Teen Wolf: The Movie suggest it hasn’t resonated with viewers as much as the original Teen Wolf series. Critics gave the movie a 33% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, while audiences were a bit more positive with a score of 64%. Overall, the film hasn’t lived up to the popularity of the series.

The show’s popularity since its release on Netflix demonstrates its success. With familiar characters from Teen Wolf and a constant stream of supernatural challenges, it has established itself as a standout in the world of supernatural television – and continues to be popular even after the series concluded.

Now that Teen Wolf has become popular internationally on Netflix, it’s unclear if even more viewers will discover and enjoy the show. Currently, it seems to be doing well on the streaming service, and it may continue to stay in Netflix’s Top 10 list.
