New Wolf King Series Announced Based on the Wereworld Books
Although the title of this series sounds like it would be in the same realm of Tiger King, it's actually a new fantasy adventure series coming to Netflix. Based on the Wereworld books by Curtis Jobling, Wolf King is an animated series following Drew Ferran in a coming-of-age story about a boy who discovers he's the last in a long line of werewolves. There are currently 6 books in the Wereworld series, so there's potential for multiple seasons if the show does well. Season one will be coming to Netflix in 2025.
