The "Teen Wolf" season 6 premiere is just a few hours away and MTV has just released the show's final opening credits. This time, it doesn't only feature Scott (Tyler Posey) and his crew, but also the adults who will be playing integral parts in what is shaping up to be an eventful final year at Beacon Hills High School.

The opening credits feature quick cuts of the main cast members interspersed with shots of some of the villains they have had to face throughout the show's five-season run. Scott, Stiles (Dylan O'Brien), Lydia (Holland Roden), Malia (Shelley Hennig) and Liam (Dylan Sprayberry) are shown in various poses depicting their characters, like Scott baring his fangs and beta wolf Liam's eyes glowing green.

Stiles, who will reportedly be spending most of the first half of "Teen Wolf" in limbo seems to feature a look that's a mix of longing and resignation. Will his friends, with ample help from his dad Sheriff Stilinski (Linden Ashby), Scott's mom Melissa (Melissa Ponzio), and former wolf hunter turned ally Chris (JR Bourne), be able to bring him back to existence after one of the season's big bads, the Ghost Riders, take him away?

Parents have always had a presence in the teen-oriented series that has evolved from being just another movie-to-television reboot to a hit supernatural show with merits of its own. As "Teen Wolf" enters its final year, the adults will be playing more significant roles in both the lives of their kids and the fight against the evil threats that are about to descend on Beacon Hills in the show's darkest, most emotional season yet.

In an exclusive interview with TV Line, executive producer Jeff Davis shared that the sixth season revolves around the theme of memories. It will be about how one person can affect and change another's life and how losing that person ultimately alters one's thoughts and perspectives.

"It's all about memory, and how memory shapes us," Davis said.

"Teen Wolf" season 6 episode 1 titled "Memory Lost" airs on Tuesday, Nov. 15, at 9 p.m. EST on MTV.
