Plot
Fifteen years after his time in Beacon Hills, Scott runs a Los Angeles animal shelter attached to Deaton's new clinic and is not in a relationship. Lydia, working for a San Francisco energy company, ended things with Stiles after a recurring vision predicted his death. Derek, now a father to 15-year-old Eli, co-owns an auto repair shop with Malia and Peter. Mason became a Beacon Hills police officer.
Liam, living in Japan, works at a restaurant with kitsune Hikari Zhang, where they protect an urn holding the Nogitsune. A hooded figure raids the restaurant and releases the Nogitsune. The same figure starts forest fires in Beacon Hills, while Scott, Lydia, and Chris get visions of Allison, who was killed by the Oni. Believing her soul is stuck in bardo, they perform a ritual at the Nemeton that unexpectedly brings Allison back to life.
She wakes up with amnesia, remembers only fragments of her family's conflict with Derek, attacks Scott, and escapes the hospital. Deaton realizes the Nogitsune was possessing Chris and faking the visions to trick the pack into resurrecting Allison. The Nogitsune then physically manifests, creates nine Oni, and tells Allison that Scott destroyed her family. Allison attacks Derek and hunts Scott and Eli until Scott lets her stab him with a wolfsbane-coated dagger.
She takes him to the stadium as bait for the pack, but he triggers more of her memories, leading to a truce against the Nogitsune.
Potential sequel
Following the film's release, Tyler Posey expressed a strong desire to continue the franchise and revealed he had written a script for a potential sequel. He also mentioned ideas for a third installment or a television series. In September 2025, Posey confirmed that some original cast members are on board for the sequel, though specific details were not disclosed.
