Wild Boys: Strangers in Town to Debut on Paramount+

Paramount+ has announced today that Wild Boys: Strangers in Town, the gripping two-part documentary from See It Now Studios, will premiere exclusively on the platform on February 18.

Wild Boys: Strangers in Town chronicles the astonishing true story of two young brothers who emerged from the forests of British Columbia in the summer of 2003, claiming they had been raised entirely off the grid—without schools, doctors, or any record of their existence.

When a local mother takes them in, hoping to help the brothers build a new life, a small-town obsession is ignited with journalists and authorities digging deeper and raising unsettling questions about how far people are willing to go to believe a story they want to be true.

A decade in the making, the project gained additional traction following the release of the hit podcast Wild Boys, produced by Campside.
