Derek Hale (Tyler Hoechlin) will be out of sight but not out of mind as the MTV drama heads into the summer season. Just because Derek won't be rolling with the Beacon Hills crowd this year, that doesn't mean he won't still be involved in their lives.
"Derek may be gone, but he'll never be forgotten," TV Line teased. "He of the Legendary Eyebrows is mentioned several times throughout the premiere, along with another fallen favorite."

Unfortunately for Scott (Tyler Posey) and Co., Derek's absence means his sweet new ability to shift into a full wolf won't be much help. Well, not right at this moment at least. Series creator Jeff Davis previously confirmed that there is a very good chance Derek will pop up at some point in season 5.
"Tyler Hoechlin decided he wanted more time to pursue movies," Davis informed Buzzfeed. "We talked and creatively agreed that maybe this was a good season to refocus on the teens of Teen Wolf, and while he won't be a series regular anymore, I can say that you probably won't have seen the last of Derek Hale. We love him and miss him."
