Sizzlin' Summer Streaming 24' - Wolf Pack - Season One

Will Paramount+ renew Wolf Pack for a second season? Anyone who watched it when it commenced this time last year would be wondering.

I for one however just stumbled upon this teen wolf wannabe.

The Paramount+ series is based on the 2004 book of the same name written by Edo van Belkom. 

With a fresh faced cast, featuring Chloe Rose Robertson, Bella Shepard, Armani Jackson, and Tyler Lawrence Gray, they join scream queen, Sarah Michelle Gellar alongside Rodrigo Santoro, it's a good looking cast, thats for sure!

The opening episode, has a terrific first ten minutes or so. As a deadly fire ravages California and drives a supernatural creature to attack. A few people are killed and many more are injured, including animals.

Teenagers Blake Navarro and Everett Lang are bitten. Everett is sent to the hospital to be treated for his injury and discovers that his bite injury has healed mysteriously. While at the hospital, he receives a phone call from an unknown caller telling him to leave the hospital immediately as the creature that bit him will come looking for him. 

He runs away from the hospital just as Kristin Ramsey, a detective comes looking for him. Blake's bite injury is also healed mysteriously and she struggles to take care of her autistic brother as her parents are going through a difficult split. 

She sees a vision of Everett in the hospital as does Everett. The two are inexplicably drawn to each other. Meanwhile, Harlan and Luna are two teenage werewolves who know what is behind the mysterious happenings and are looking for their adoptive father. 

After Blake and Everett are chased by a huge werewolf animal, they run into Harlan and Luna.


Episodes two and three aren't as exciting as the first, however the series really starts to pick up the pace from episodes four and five.

There are so many abs, hot gay erotic moments, Wolf Pack did hook me in on the superficial side of Hollywood, however the story was a little same-same from recent supe series.

Paramount+ have cancelled a number of series of late, Fatal Attraction, Rabbit Hole and Why Women Kill, so will this series join the list of cancelled shows? Time will tell as post strike it appears the streaming services appear to be watching their balance sheets a little more closely.

Big finals over the next week or two. Reacher season two, Echo on Disney+ and The Curse, also on Paramount+. Well it is one of the final Showtime series, which means it is also likely to get the old axe. See you for those finales soon.
