Sarah Michelle Gellar will star in the upcoming “Teen Wolf” spinoff series “Wolf Pack” for Paramount+, and the actress has shared a first look at her character this afternoon.
Sarah Michelle Gellar stars in “Wolf Pack” as arson Investigator Kristin Ramsey, “a highly regarded expert in her field and no stranger to personal loss, who 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.”
Check out a first-look below and expect “Wolf Pack” to howl our way in January 2023.
Gellar said during a recent press event, “I’ve been pitched once, twice, 2000 of these [types of shows]. Honestly, at first, I had no intention of saying yes. When I read the script, it was the first time where my interest was so piqued. One of the beauties of Buffy was the sort of metaphorical aspect of it. These real monsters were the metaphors for the horror of high school and to me, that’s what made the show so important and why it stands the test of time.
“So when I read the script [for Wolf Pack], and I spoke to Jeff, we discussed the issues he wanted to tackle mainly anxiety and depression among children, specifically having to do with their use of devices and the lack of connectivity. It’s something that I think about all the time, and it’s so prominent.”
“Wolf Pack follows a teenage boy, Everett (Armani Jackson), and a girl, Blake (Bella 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 and Luna, 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.”
The upcoming series is based on the book series by Edo Van Belkom.
The project also hails from Jeff Davis and the series cast also includes Chloe Rose Robertson (Wildflower), and Tyler Lawrence Gray (Our Town, Macbeth).
