Wolf start date confirmed for new BBC One crime drama starring Ukweli Roach

Wolf is the brand new drama coming to BBC One in 2023 with a start date now confirmed!

Based on Mo Hayder’s acclaimed Jack Caffery novels, the new series is written and adapted by Megan Gallagher (Borderliner, Suspicion).

A teaser shares: “DI Jack Caffery is a young man searching for himself. 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.”
