Teen Wolf was a popular series starring Tyler Posey as a teenage werewolf slowly uncovering the supernatural secrets in his town. It originally premiered in 2011 and had a successful six-season run until its conclusion in 2017. The series was received very positively for its run. That is why when Paramount announced they were making more content for the series in the form of a movie, fans were excited. However, fans seem to be decreasingly less interested when they learned that some of the cast was not returning. And some have a pretty good reason for not returning.

Hollywood Life reported who seems to be returning for this movie adaptation, and one actor not returning for the movie is Arden Cho, who played a character named Kira. According to Deadline, Cho declined to return to the movie because of the difference in pay she experienced during the making of the TV series.

Cho told sources that she, as the only person of color among the female series regulars, was being paid half the amount that her other coworkers were getting per episode. To be contributing the same as the people around you and be given less compensation seems like a good enough reason to not return.

Although this is not the only reason. She also showed displeasure with how the show was going about her character. Entertainment Weekly reports Cho announced she was leaving Teen Wolf and she said “I think sometimes in a show where there’s so many characters, there isn’t always room for everyone.”

Social media has shown support for Arden Cho’s decision not to return. Dylan O’Brien liked a tweet supporting Cho, so fans assume that O’Brien is behind Cho in her choice.

Dylan O-Brien is another fan-favorite actor reported to not be returning. He is an actor in high demand, being very successful since the series has ended. It is possible he has several secret projects that have not been announced yet, which is why he may not be involved.

Tyler Hoechlin is another actor who may not be returning, but it has not been confirmed. He is a bit busy since he is Superman in the CW series Superman & Lois. He may not be able to fit it into his schedule. But there is still a chance he could be involved in some way.
