Peacock has given the green light to Wolf Like Me Season 2, which will continue the critically acclaimed, genre-bending romantic drama from creator, executive producer, and director Abe Forsythe (Little Monsters).
Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers, Definitely Maybe) and Josh Gad (Central Park, Frozen) will be reprising their roles in Wolf Like Me Season 2.
“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 of 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 Abe Forsythe and our partners at Made Up Stories and Endeavor Content come up with for season two.”
“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,” added Abe Forsythe, series creator, executive producer, and director.
“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 of Wolf Like Me, 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 for Made Up Stories.
“We couldn’t be more excited to be working with Abe, Isla, and Josh again on this truly unique show.”
“We’re excited for Abe Forsythe and Made Up Stories to expand their exceptional storytelling around Mary and Gary’s incredible journey, continuing to engage dedicated Wolf Like Me fans for season two,” said Joe Hipps, EVP, TV, Endeavor Content.
The renewal of Wolf Like Me joins the additional second season renewals of Peacock Original series Girls5eva, Rutherford Falls, One of Us Is Lying, We Are Lady Parts, and the second season of the critically acclaimed drama series Bel-Air.
In the first season, everyone brings their own set of baggage to a new relationship. Gary (Josh Gad) and Mary (Isla Fisher) are no different. Gary is an emotional wreck and has struggled to provide for his daughter since the death of his wife. Mary has a secret she can’t bring herself to share with anyone.
The universe brought these two together for a reason; they just need to keep following the signs.
Filmed in Australia, Wolf Like Me is produced by Made Up Stories in partnership with Endeavor Content and Stan. The first season debuted on Peacock on January 13, 2022.
Jodi Matterson, Bruna Papandrea, and Steve Hutensky from Made Up Stories serve as executive producers alongside executive producers Abe Forsythe, Josh Gad, and Isla Fisher.
