Life as a teenage werewolf or his quirky best friend can be difficult at the best of times, but it's probably exponentially more difficult when you seem to be losing your mind.

Luckily for the supernatural allies of Teen Wolf, their parents are now looped in on their strange, secret lives. Although Scott McCall (Tyler Posey), Stiles (Dylan O' Brien), and Allison Argent (Crystal Reed) will be battling both inner and outer demons throughout season 3B, having the support of their parents and the police department may make things a little bit less complicated.

"My relationship with Stiles changes in a couple of different ways this year," said Linden Ashby, who plays Sheriff Stilinski, in an interview with MTV. "There's no more lies. I know what's happening; I know he knows what's happening. Scott and Stiles become more of guides for me, I'm getting this crash course in this supernatural world that's been around."

However, the introduction of Scott's father, FBI Agent Kyle McCall (Matthew Del Negro), may put a wrench into their operations. Considering Scott isn't particularly keen on bonding with his dad, it's a safe bet to say that Mr. McCall will remain unaware of the paranormal origins of Beacon Hill's many deaths.

"It starts to be revealed that maybe agent McCall isn't exactly who you think he is," Del Negro explained in an interview with MTV. "What I like is when I came in, I came in as such a hard ass, not looking for anyone to like me. Then as this season progresses, there's kind of another color running in the background and it's like I'm fighting my way back into the family."

While that family drama plays out in the background, viewers should prepare for a wild, and quite creepy, 12 episodes.

"It messes with you and it keeps messing with you, and what you think you know, you don't know," Ashby said of season 3B, according to MTV.
