Wolf Pack‘s first season left viewers with a rather intense cliffhanger. The show represented Sarah Michelle Gellar‘s return to the realm of supernatural TV dramas, so fans are undoubtedly wondering whether Wolf Pack has been renewed for season 2. Is there any news?
Will Wolf Pack return to Paramount+ for season 2?
Wolf Pack, Teen Wolf creator Jeff Davis’ return to supernatural storytelling, sees a group of young werewolves come to terms with their powers, control their bond as shapeshifters, and deal with the threat of a stronger, more powerful creature hunting them. Meanwhile, they were getting inundated with calls from a mysterious voice, and a massive wildfire threatened to destroy their small hometown in California.
That’s a lot of drama for a group of teenage werewolves to cope with.
Wolf Pack‘s season 1 finale revealed the story’s big twist—Kristin Ramsey (Gellar) isn’t your run-of-the-mill arson investigator. No, she’s actually a werewolf herself, and more importantly, she’s Harlan’s (Tyler Lawrence Grey) and Luna’s (Chloe Rose Robertson) biological mother. That narrative twist certainly provided a lot of ground for Wolf Pack season 2 to cover.
Unfortunately, it has since been confirmed by publications such as Deadline that Wolf Pack will not be returning for a second season. Despite Jeff Davis’ and Sarah Michelle Gellar’s interest in continuing the show, Paramount+ has axed the series in the wake of mass lay-offs and other cost-cutting measures. This will no doubt be a huge blow to fans of the series and the cast and crew, as production on the second season was reportedly slated to begin in February.
This might come as a surprise, as by all accounts, Wolf Pack was a big success for the Paramount+ streaming service—The Wrap reported that it was considered a “breakout” show. While critical reception had been mixed, the season finale’s twist made up for the series’ somewhat slow pacing, and there was still a lot of ground left to cover.
