Ukweli Roach, Sacha Dhawan & Iwan Rheon Face Off in BBC’s 'WOLF'
Seemingly overnight, BBC’s newest thriller series WOLF has burst onto the scene with a spine-chilling trailer and an all-star cast. This six-part crime drama is based on the gruesome and twisted Jack Caffery novels, a contemporary thriller series written by Mo Hayder. The show stars a dream team of a trio: Ukweli Roach (Annika), Sacha Dhawan (Doctor Who), and Iwan Rheon (Game of Thrones).
Roach will play the titular DI Jack Caffery, and Dhawan and Rheon will play a pair of professional cons, Honey and Molina, unexpectedly thrown together on a job. The screenplay for the series is written and adapted by Norway-based, American-born screenwriter Megan Gallagher (Suspicion) and produced by Hartswood Films, the production company behind some of the most recognizable titles in recent British TV, including Sherlock, Inside Man, and The Devil’s Hour. APC Studios will coproduce. The first three episodes are directed by Kristoffer Nyholm (The Vanishing), and the final three by Lee Haven Jones (The Long Call).
The official synopsis is as follows:
