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.

Now I get the comment about the treatment - it's a book

7 books

Then she died 🥲so guessing won't be no 8 in the Jack series

Thank you !

I love books and thrillers so have ordered 1-7 via eBay for £21

All 3 or a little less

anyone else watch tonight's

They are a bit of a comedy act with their cleaning and chats to self about intestines

Silly they didn't micro chip the dog and strange they carries on living in that huge house the 3 of them , in the middle of nowhere

I did like the vet. Are you asking me when a dog may Shit 😂

Not sure how the daughter was involved in the donkey field murders or was it her sister was died

Def the ending was comedy with figaro and dancing /singing

I assume he didn't kill Tilly as sword was plunged down and not where she was hanging

Then shagging mixed inbetween the dancing 😂

I'm really enjoying this

Roll on next Monday

I found it chilling - those pair are so creepy. I'm hooked now though so I will have to see it through to the end!

I don't find it chilling

More funny

Black humour

The whole thing is ridiculous and I love it.

Started off being a thriller chiller

But tonight's dancing was pure comedy

Well practical DS slightly ruined it by explaining that when calling an emergency number on your mobile it will try to connect to any available network, not just your service provider.

So his take on it is that they were dumb not to try calling for help once they realised that the landline had been cut.

Sometimes I wonder how my kids are so smart and I know nothing.

That's true about 999

Tho if i had no phone signal I wouid be moving house 😂

Watched two episodes of this last night. It's very weird but think I may have to finish it to see how it pans out.

Really weird and enjoying watch it but the Monmouthshire accents were so off!

I decided to try the second episode after not really liking the first. Now I’m not taking it as a straight forward police series I am quite enjoying it. The opera and dancing and sex scenes combined were very effective.

I so want a donkey pitch.

Not for disembowelling or anything. I think I'd just put donkeys in it ,tbh.

Not sure if Honey sliced Tilly's head off , we'll have to wait and see . Such dark scenes but laced with humour , loved the dancing !

Honey slices down rather then across

She can't be died

I’m sort of watching but not really & fast forwarding the family. Friends family were held hostage (dad was bank manager) and I can never watch stuff like that.

I binge watched all of the episodes and I still don’t know what I watched. I did like it though.

Were the baddies supposed to remind me of Laurel and Hardy or was that just a coincidence.

Agree that is was definitely a downslice. Bit worried about Juliet Stevenson being upside down for so long. She looked a bit blotchy.

I wonder how they manage it, for the comfort of the actor. Actual unsupported dangling must be against health and safety

They prob only hang for a few mins at a time

Iwan Rheon is absolutely brilliant...as for the rest of the show....

The thought they weren't real Police was put in my head from the outset because the Asian guy, DI Honey, played a bent cop in Line of Duty. He was pretending to help Keely Hawes character then she suddenly realised they were bent and escaped into the woods. It's odd how actors often play similar characters. He does a really good job of appearing nice and helpful then something flashes in his eyes and you know he's a baddie.

@CountTo10 it didn't occur to me he was a baddie in lod but I did like him in it
