As Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sarah Michelle Gellar has dealt with her fair share of werewolves, but she will soon dive back into the world of lycanthropy for an all-new series. Deadline has reported that Sarah Michelle Gellar has been tapped to star in Wolf Pack, a new series for Paramount+ being written and executive produced by Teen Wolf developer Jeff Davis.
Based on the book series by Edo Van Belkom, Wolf Pack revolves around “a teenage boy, Everett, and girl, Blake, whose lives are forever changed when a California wildfire awakens a terrifying supernatural creature. Wounded in the chaos of its attack, the teens are inexplicably drawn to each other and to two others, fraternal twins Harlan and Luna, who were adopted sixteen years earlier by a park ranger after another mysterious wildfire. As the full moon rises, all four teens come together to unravel the secret that connects them – the bite and blood of a werewolf.” Sarah Michelle Gellar will play arson investigator Kristin Ramsey. A highly regarded expert in her field and no stranger to personal loss, Kristin is brought in by authorities to catch the teenage arsonist who started a massive wildfire which may have also led to the reawakening of a supernatural predator terrorizing Los Angeles. In addition to starring in Wolf Pack, Sarah Michelle Gellar will also executive produce the series.
The four main teenage roles of Wolf Pack were cast last month, with Armani Jackson (Honor Society) playing Everett, Bella Shepard (The Wilds) playing Blake, Chloe Rose Robertson (Wildflower) playing Luna, and Tyler Lawrence Gray (Our Town) playing Harlan. The series is currently shooting and will premiere later this year on Paramount+. While we’re talking werewolves, much of the original cast of Teen Wolf has returned for a movie that will premiere on Paramount+ this fall.
