Becoming parents is terrifying when you know you’re having a human baby. When one parent is a werewolf, there are even more things to worry about. Just normal stuff, you know, like what kind of teeth said baby will have. Wolf Like Me, in its second season, tackles all of this and more, as Mary (Isla Fisher) and Gary (Josh Gad) head snout-first into parenthood.
But as if Mary’s werewolf nature isn’t complicating things enough, now there’s a hot guy from her past hanging around, and Gary is perhaps a bit more insecure about it than seems necessary. (I admit, I did laugh at “Did he help you with his penis?”)
Here’s the synopsis:
In the second season of Wolf Like Me, Mary (Isla Fisher) and Gary (Josh Gad) leap into the next phase of their relationship, facing their biggest challenge yet: pregnancy. As much as the two try to have a “normal” pregnancy, it seems impossible with so many questions looming over them. Will their child be a human or a wolf? Just how long can they keep things secret from the rest of their family? Will what happened in the outback come back to haunt them? And, with Mary’s former professor, Anton (Edgar Ramirez), suddenly in the picture, can their relationship withstand newly unearthed secrets from Mary’s past?
When Wolf Like Me was first announced, creator Abe Forsythe said, “I’d love for audiences to go into watching the series not knowing where it’s going or what gets revealed as the show progresses because I think if that happens, then it’s going to shock and surprise people.” It doesn’t look particularly surprising now, but perhaps the idea of a werewolf rom-com is a bit more out there for some people than others.
Wolf Like Me returns October 19th on Peacock.
