This is tv paced. Sadly all will be on iPlayer - really wish they didn’t do this till all have been shown

Sighs

It’s 6 parts - on Monday and Tue x 3 weeks

Wolf is BBC One’s latest crime thriller offering, and we couldn’t be more excited.

From Happy Valley and Better toInside Man
and Crossfire,
the BBC has wowed us consistently with its recent
thriller (https://www.stylist.co.uk/tag/thriller)
output.

Now, another meaty new drama is on the way and it looks like one we’ll have no problem getting our teeth stuck into.

Wolf is set to be BBC One’s major new crime drama and it’s based on Mo Hayder’s bestselling Jack Caffery novels.
Ukweli Roach (The Midwich Cuckoos (https://www.stylist.co.uk/entertainment/tv/the-midwich-cuckoos-keeley-hawes-sky/513967)) will play DI Jack Caffery, and now that the BBC has unveiled first-look images from the show, we can’t wait for this adaptation
to unfold on the small screen. With that, here’s everything you need to know about
Wolf

The upcoming six-part series will be based on the novels (https://www.stylist.co.uk/tag/novel) of Mo Hayder, who rose to prominence within the crime thriller genre for her terrifying tales and shocking twists.

The BBC drama will blend a cold case (that has a personal connection to the lead detective) with some sinister parallel storylines.

“DI Jack Caffery is a young man searching for himself,” according to the BBC synopsis. “Obsessed with the neighbour he believes murdered his 10-year-old brother in the 90s, Jack finds himself trying to right the wrongs of others, but at what cost?

“In an isolated house in Monmouthshire, the wealthy Anchor-Ferrers family find themselves the victims of a psychopath’s cruel games, trapped and terrorised.

When the two narratives collide, it’s a thrilling, nail-biting and
deeply disturbing race against time.”

As well as Roach leading the cast as Caffery, the cast is jam-packed with familiar faces.
Sacha Dhawan (Doctor Who) and Iwan Rheon (Game Of Thrones (https://stylist.co.uk/tag/game-of-thrones)) will star as Honey and Molina, a pair of mismatched professionals who are forced together on a job.
Sian Reese-Williams (Line Of Duty (https://stylist.co.uk/tag/line-of-duty)) will star as DI Maia Lincoln, a woman with a case to prove; Juliet Stevenson (Bend It Like Beckham) will star as Matilda Anchor-Ferrers, an intelligent yet neurotic housewife; and Owen Teale (Line Of Duty, Game Of Thr
ones) will play Oliver Anchor-Ferrers, Matilda’s wealthy and well-connected husband.

@Blondeshavemorefun thanks so much, don't have channel 5 but up for everything else 😁

lazymum99 · 25/07/2023 21:35

That looks like a good one. Thanks @Blondeshavemorefun

butterpuffed · 27/07/2023 08:57

Just seen a short clip of this , it's looking good , thanks @Blondeshavemorefun

martinisforeveryone · 27/07/2023 12:57

Thanks for the mention @Blondeshavemorefun I'm in.

Bookist · 28/07/2023 12:24

Very excited for this. It sounds like they might be merging the plot lines from more than just the 'Wolf' book though? Seems odd that they're starting with the last book she wrote?

TheHorneSection · 28/07/2023 12:39

I love the Mo Haydee books! Some of them scared me shitless, the second one with the families set near Brixton was terrifying. Wolf was a good one. I didn’t realise this had started so need to catch up…

I’m not sure some of the earlier books would be suitable for TV? They are hugely graphic and deal with rape and paedophilia.

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/07/2023 13:46

I might have to have a google or the books to see what the series is like

NotDonna · 28/07/2023 16:00

This looks great! I’ve sent the recorder so I don’t miss them. Thank you!

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/07/2023 19:54

Ok had a google

Why would they show book 7 ans not start work book 1

Thanks, looking forward to this one

VioletCharlotte · 28/07/2023 20:27

Thanks Blondes I saw a preview of this on Breakfast TV this week. I'm not sure if I'm going to like it, but will give it a go!

Struggling to find anything that really grabs my attention lately.

Ilovealido · 29/07/2023 18:23

I read an interview with Juliet Stephenson where she mentioned this show & the fact that’s she’s always had a fear of home intruders. I watched the trailer & it looks really dark, not sure I’ll be able to face it!

Blondeshavemorefun · 29/07/2023 18:36

Trailer looks good

I need a good thriller /chiller so hoping this will be a good watch

OP posts:
Clawdy · 31/07/2023 19:59

I think Mo Hayder is renowned for fairly gruesome storylines, so not sure I'll want this one. Will watch tonight and decide!

Blondeshavemorefun · 31/07/2023 21:51

Sorry meant to bump this

I missed beginning. So will watch at 10 on iPlayer
