The queer-inclusive Paramount+ series Wolf Pack has been cancelled after one season. In January 2023, fans were first treated to the horror series based on Edo Van Belkom’s book series of the same name.
Led by Buffy the Vampire Slayer icon Sarah Michelle Gellar, the show follows two teenagers, Blake Navarro and Everett Lang, who get attacked by a mysterious creature during a deadly wildfire.
The official synopsis reads: “In the aftermath, they discover they’re werewolves and develop an intense bond together. The two team up, and encounter two other teenagers, the adoptive children of a park ranger, who went through a similar strange wildfire sixteen years ago.” Gellar played Kristen Ramsey, an arson investigator who is “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.” While critics gave the show mixed reviews, it garnered a dedicated fanbase.
Many praised Wolf Pack for its immersive story, action sequences, and LGBTQ+ representation in the character of Harlan Briggs (Tyler Lawrence Gray).
