With the show going longer than series showrunner Jeff Davis expected it to, the sixth season of Teen Wolf back in 2016/2017 was the final season of the show. Which felt like it was time as it was struggling to find the right path with how everything was working out with cast additions and departures, lacking the focus of the original couple of seasons.
We learned last fall that Jeff Davis was coming back and working on setting up a Teen Wolf movie sequel to the TV series and setting up for a new Paramount+ show with Wolf Pack that will bring in a new range of characters. With some up-and-coming actors getting their slots previously, they’re looking to bring in some extra genre cred with the addition of Sarah Michelle Gellar to the project. She’ll be playing investigator Kristin Ramsey, a highly regarded expert in her field and no stranger to personal loss, 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.
Gellar’s work on the show isn’t just the acting side as she’s serving as an executive producer as well, giving her a greater stake in the project. This is her first ongoing live-action role since 2013’s The Crazy Ones with Robin Williams.
The show previously revealed its four leads with Armani Jackson (Honor Society, Chad), Bella Shepard (iCarly, The Wilds), Chloe Rose Robertson (Wildflower) and Tyler Lawrence Gray (Our Town, Macbeth).
It’s set to premiere later this year in the U.S. and Canada, Latin America, the Caribbean, Australia, South Korea, Ireland and the UK as well as Italy and in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and France.
Wolf Pack: Based on the book series by Edo Van Belkom, WOLF PACK follows a teenage boy and girl whose lives are changed forever when a California wildfire awakens a terrifying supernatural creature and drives it to attack a highway traffic jam beneath the burning hills. Wounded in the chaos, the boy and girl are inexplicably drawn to each other and to two other teenagers 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.
