Wolf Like Me
In January, Isla Fisher and Josh Gad appeared in the chick flick with a twist.
Wolf Like Me, a genre-bending romantic comedy starring Isla Fisher and Josh Gad, has been renewed for a second season by the NBCUniversal streaming service. In January, Peacock (as well as Australian streaming provider Stan) premiered the six-episode inaugural season.
“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 [creator] Abe Forsythe and our partners at Made Up Stories and Endeavor Content come up with for season two.”
Said Forsythe, who wrote and directed all of season one, “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. 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.”
Gad plays a bereaved father living in Australia who is dealing with loss while raising his daughter in Wolf Like Me (Ariel Donoghue). Even when the world appears to be pulling Mary (Fisher) and Gary together, she has a secret she can’t divulge.
When it first aired three months ago, the series garnered largely positive reviews. Peacock, like most streamers, does not reveal viewership figures for its shows.
The series is produced by Made Up Stories (Big Little Lies, Pieces of Her) in collaboration with Endeavor Content and Stan.
“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 of Made Up Stories in a statement. “We couldn’t be more excited to be working with Abe, Isla and Josh again on this truly unique show.”
Added Joe Hipps, executive vp television for Endeavor Content, “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.”
