Based on eponymous 2004 book by Canadian author Edo van Belkom‘Wolf Pack‘ revolves around a group of young people: Everett Lang (Armani Jackson), Blake Navarro (Bella Shepard), Harlan Briggs (Tyler Lawrence Gray) and Luna (Chloe Rose Robertson). After a forest fire awakens a nightmarish monster, the four protagonists discover that their destinies are linked. Meanwhile, the MTV series ‘teen wolf‘ (2011-2017) is based on the 1985 film of the same name, starring Michael J. Fox. The series tells the story of Scott McCall (Tyler Posey), a teenager who turns into a werewolf in the pilot episode. Since both projects were created by Jeff Davis (“Criminal Minds”), you might be wondering if the two series are related. Here’s everything you need to know about it.

Similarities and differences between Wolf Pack and Teen Wolf?

As mentioned above, “Wolf Pack” and “Teen Wolf” are developed by Davis and obviously revolve around the werewolf mythos. Additionally, both series are set in California. While “Teen Wolf” is set in the fictional town of Beacon Hills, “Wolf Pack” is set in Gray Lakes, Los Angeles County, which is also a fictional town.

In an interview with EO, Davis explained his reasons for doing a show so similar to ‘Teen Wolf’. “I wanted to do something different, but from ‘Teen Wolf,'” the series creator explained. “With ‘Teen Wolf’, one of the first things we did was the traditional werewolf myth, as we interpreted it. That, I felt like going back to more traditional myths.

Davis said he had more stories to tell in the same setting and wanted to delve into issues that aren’t part of “Teen Wolf.” “I’ve found with teenagers these days that there are issues like anxiety, disconnected young people trying to find themselves, they can always find themselves in a world like this where everything is technology and pandemics and people are separated,” Davis said. “That’s what the story is about: these four kids find each other, find their pack, and find their people.”

More than five years after the MTV series ended, the next movie, “Teen Wolf: The Movie,” was released on January 26, 2023 on Paramount+. Davis told EW that while he initially had no intention of doing another werewolf show, things ended up that way. “After 100 episodes of ‘Teen Wolf,’ I thought I was done with werewolves,” Davis recalled. “They asked me, ‘Would you be interested in doing another supernatural TV show?’ I was like, ‘Supernatural, of course.’ So they said, ‘Would you be interested in doing something like ‘Teen Wolf?’ I said, ‘Well, are these really teenage werewolves?’ So they said, ‘Maybe.’ I’m not kidding. They sent me the book and it really fits into something I’ve been thinking about for a while, which is the California wildfires.

In many ways, “Teen Wolf” and “Wolf Pack” reflect the spirit of their respective sources. While the film starring Michael J. Fox is widely regarded as one of the funniest and most unorthodox films of the 1980s, van Belkom’s novel, written for a young audience, is quite simple and explores traditions werewolf classics.
