After completing its highly promoted first season last March, Paramount+ has canceledWolf Packafter only one season.
PerThe Hollywood Reporter, Paramount+ was on board for a second season of the supernatural seriesafter a promising debut. Unfortunately, as was the case with several movies and TV shows, the dual writer and actor strikes resulted in many delays in terms of development. Despite starSarah Michelle Gellarsaying they had scripts and ideas for Season 2 when Season 1 ended, the pause in development meant the creatives had to stop working.
Even though both strikes were over by late last year, it was clear thatWolf Packwouldn’t be able to return until at least 2025. The streamer was not keen on this notion because it would cost more money to market the series after it was off the air for so long. Edo Van Belkom, who wrote the series of novels on which the show was based, also shared the news of the cancelation on his X page and expressed frustration that it took a full year to decide the series' fate.
