Set to release on March 20, Wolf King is the TV adaptation of the epic fantasy-adventure Wereworld novels by Curtis Jobling, which were published between 2011 to 2013.
Its first season follows Drew Ferran, a common 16-year-old, who learns that he's the last in the ancestral line of werewolves to ascend the throne. He must now prepare to fight and reclaim his right to the throne by challenging the Lionlords and abolishing their tyrannical rule over the land, bringing victory back to the rightful governors - the Werelords.
Directed by Tom Brass, this coming-of-age story follows the first part of the Wereworld book series.
It's set to bring fantasy, adventure, and just a touch of horror to viewers. Animation for the series is led by Jellyfish Pictures, who have many successful animated films under their belt, including Kung Fu Panda, The Bad Guys, The Boss Baby, Spirit: Untamed and more.
