TeenWolf creator Jeff Davis addresses the massive plot hole that was left about Eli Hale's mother in the new Paramount+ reunion movie: 'The decision to not reveal is that it’s a story for another time.'
WARNING: This article includes SPOILERS from Teen Wolf: The Movie.Creator Jeff Davis addresses the massive plot hole about Eli Hale's mother in Teen Wolf: The Movie. The Teen Wolf franchise is finally back, but this time as a reunion film instead of a season 7. Written by Teen Wolf's original creator, the movie picks up nearly two decades after the ending of season 6.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY While Eli has a huge role in Teen Wolf: The Movie, the plot did leave out a crucial detail about him. Despite being Derek's son, Teen Wolf: The Movie never references who his mother is, and apparently, there is a reason why they didn't disclose that. In an interview with TVLine, Davis is directly asked about Eli's mother, but the answer may not be the one fans are looking for here.
“That remains to be seen, although some part of the fandom would say he doesn’t have a mother. The decision to not reveal is that it’s a story for another time. I’m a child of single parents, and I really gravitate towards telling single-parent stories because I know that struggle personally.
For those reasons alone, leaving out the identity of Eli's mother in what could be the last time fans see the Teen Wolf characters is a wasted opportunity. It's also a massive thing to neglect Derek's character prior to his death. At some point after Teen Wolf season 6, he found someone that he obviously fell in love with to the point where a child was born.
Could There Be More For Eli After Teen Wolf: The Movie? There is one major upside to Teen Wolf: The Movie's Eli situation, and it is that the creative team has the chance to course-correct this. With Derek now gone, a future Teen Wolf sequel could explore more of Eli's character but also finally introduce who his mom is in this world.
