In just two weeks, on January 26th, the werewolf series Wolf Pack – starring Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Sarah Michelle Gellar – will be making its premiere on the Paramount+ streaming service. Now Paramount+ has released a trailer for Wolf Pack to let us get an idea of what the show is going to be like. You can check it out in the embed above.
Based on a series of novels written by Edo Van Belkom, Wolf Pack was created by Jeff Davis, developer and executive producer of Teen Wolf, the MTV series inspired by the “awfully good” 1985 Michael J. Fox comedy. This has caused some confusion, especially since Teen Wolf: The Movie is going to be reaching Paramount+ on January 26th as well, making some fans think the two properties might be connected. Davis has said that is not the case. His werewolf shows are separate from each other.
Gellar is joined in the Wolf Pack cast by Rodrigo Santoro (Westworld), Armani Jackson (Honor Society), Bella Shepard (The Wilds), Chloe Rose Robertson (Wildflower), Tyler Lawrence Gray (Our Town), Stella Smith (Stargirl), Hollie Bahar (The Channel), and newcomer Nevada Jose. The show will center on a teenage boy, Everett (Jackson), and girl, Blake (Shepard), 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 (Gray) and Luna (Robertson), 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.
Gellar plays arson investigator Kristin Ramsey, who has the following description: “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.“
Wolf Pack is coming to us from MTV Entertainment Studios. Joe Genier and Jason Ensler are executive producing the series with Davis. Ensler, whose previous credits include episodes of Chuck, Lethal Weapon, The Exorcist, The Passage, and Love, Victor, directed the pilot episode. Capital Arts’ Mike Elliott serves as co-executive producer.
