“Wolf Like Me” Season 2 Ordered Up By Peacock!
A highly unique romantic comedy/werewolf hybrid, Peacock’s “Wolf Like Me” is one of my personal favorite things of 2022 so far, so I’m thrilled to hear Season 2 is on the way!
THR has announced this afternoon that Peacock has ordered up “Wolf Like Me” Season 2, with Isla Fisher and Josh Gad both returning to continue their bizarre romance.
“Wolf Like Me stars Gad as a widowed father living in Australia and struggling with grief as he raises his daughter (Ariel Donoghue). Mary (Fisher) has a secret she can’t share with anyone, even as the universe seems to be bringing her and Gary together.”
“We are over the moon that Wolf Like Me’s unique and high-stakes love story resonated so strongly with Peacock viewers,” said Susan Rovner, chairman entertainment content at NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. “Josh and Isla’s critically acclaimed performances in this beloved romantic dramedy were exquisite, and we can’t wait to see what [creator] Abe Forsythe and our partners at Made Up Stories and Endeavor Content come up with for season two.”
Creator Abe Forsythe (Little Monsters) said, “I’m thrilled to be able to continue Mary and Gary’s story into the next phase of their relationship, especially considering the stakes couldn’t be higher. Knowing we have an audience invested in their story is a dream come true for us. Our crew is already having a lot of fun building on what we created with season one, I can’t wait for everyone to experience it alongside our characters.”
“If people were surprised by season one, we guarantee they will be amazed at what the universe is going to throw at Mary and Gary this time around,” said executive producers Jodi Matterson, Bruna Papandrea and Steve Hutensky of Made Up Stories. “We couldn’t be more excited to be working with Abe, Isla and Josh again on this truly unique show.”
