Here’s what showrunner and executive producerJeff Davishad to say in a statement.

Today marked the seventh consecutive trip to “The Con” forTeen Wolfand, as always, the series' panel had surprises in store. Cast membersIan Bohen(“Peter Hale”) andJ.R. Bourne(“Chris Argent”) jolted the cast and fans by thundering onstage dressed as Beacon Hills' newest villains: The Ghost Riders.
MTValso gave Comic-Con fans in the room an exclusivesneak peekat its forthcoming scripted seriesSweet/Vicious, a provocative scripted dramedy about sexual assault, consent and revenge on college campuses that will premiere alongsideTeen Wolfin November 2016. StarringTaylor Dearden(“Ophelia”) andEliza Bennett(“Jules”),Sweet/Viciousis an offbeat superhero story for the millennial generation. Hell-bent on bringing justice to those who get away with abuse on their college campus, Jules and Ophelia take on double lives as wannabe vigilantes. Filled with clumsy attempts and missteps, the odd-couple pair of antiheroes must balance their new secret life with best friends, parents, love interests, and the metaphorical monsters under their beds. At the core of the f*cked up, hilarious, heartbreaking world of Jules and Ophelia is the heart of the show: two girls, who never felt like they belonged, finding a home in each other… and trying to kick a lot of ass.
Teen Wolf VR Experience: The Tunnels lets the fan be the focal point in this gaze-activated VR experience. Scott (Tyler Posey) and Lydia (Holland Roden) find the fan in the tunnels (the setting for Season 6) just in time to warn about an approaching Ghost Rider. The fan’s actions affect how quickly the Ghost Rider makes the viewer disappear. This is the first up-close demonstration of the Season 6 villain.
The Teen Wolf VR Experience: The Library is a gaze-activated VR experience, the fan is in the iconicBeacon Hillslibrary with Malia (Shelley Hennig), Liam (Dylan Sprayberry), and Mason (Khylin Rhambo). As the characters interact with the viewer, he/she quickly realizes that something is wrong. The direction the fan looks will determine how/where items in the library begin to vanish… dropping a hint to the mystery ofTeen WolfSeason 6.Teen Wolfstars will also be holding autograph signings at the MTV booth (Number 3729) throughout the con.J.R.
