This piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the series being covered here wouldn’t exist.
Peacock’s Wolf Like Me, the supernatural romantic dramedy starring Josh Gad and Isla Fisher as Gary and Mary, a couple who have the usual complexities of any relationship compounded by the fact that Mary is a werewolf who ate her first husband the night she turned.
Season two is coming our way soon, and today we got some first-look images, some casting news, and a teaser about what might be in store for Gary and Mary in the upcoming episodes.
“Season one was a testament to the mysterious forces of the universe bringing Mary, Gary and Emma [Gary’s daughter] together,” showrunner Abe Forsythe said in a statement put together in April 2023. “As we delve into season two, we ask a new question: Is the universe now conspiring to pull them apart?”
Based on the synopsis below, it sounds like a baby might complicate things for the two lovebirds (Or lovewolves? I dunno.)
In the second season of Wolf Like Me, Mary (Isla Fisher) and Gary (Josh Gad) leap into the next phase of their relationship and face their biggest challenge yet: pregnancy. As much as they try to have a “normal” pregnancy, it seems impossible with so many questions looming over them. Will their child be a baby or a wolf pup? Just how long can they keep things secret from the rest of their family? And will what happened in the outback come back to haunt them? But when Mary’s former professor, Anton (Edgar Ramirez), suddenly reappears in her life, new secrets from Mary’s past are revealed, leaving Mary and Gary to question whether they’re even meant to be together.
As the above reveals, season two will also see Edgar Ramirez (Jungle Cruise, Dr. Death) will join the call sheet along with his fellow cast members Ariel Donoghue, Emma Lung, Anthony Taufa, and Honour Latukefu.
All seven episodes of Wolf Like Me season two will premiere on Peacock on October 19, 2023. You can check out some additional first-look photos below.
