About this deal

Filming began in March 2022 [6] in Monmouthshire and in Cardiff. [7] First look images from the series were released in February 2023. [8] The rave scenes were filmed in Neath Abbey. Other filming locations included Penarth, Pontyclun, and Ewenny Priory in Bridgend. [9] Reception [ edit ] Another draw to this project would be filming in Wales, it’s been a joy and I really adore the crews. They have been so supportive and allow me to do my best work especially when I’m doing some crazy scenes. WOLF has something for everyone, especially those who like a great crime thriller. It's got plenty of horror, plenty of crime and a lot of action. It's got great dilemmas, interpersonal relationships and lots of twists and turns - everything that you could want. WOLF is unique because the series follows two parallel, quite deep and complex cases. It manipulates time with one storyline happening faster than the other but the two gradually catch up with each other to meet in their final culmination. Some elements are quite fantastical and theatrical which juxtaposes against the grit, gore and the action. I think audiences are really going to enjoy it. Mo was a ferociously inventive writer who saw the conventions of the genre as a challenge rather than a constraint,” said Val McDermid. “I remember reading Birdman with a real sense of excitement, that this was a fresh and distinctive voice which also promised so much more to come. She continued to surprise me with her work. I’m so sad we’ve lost not only a fascinating presence but also the books she had in her head.”

Early in the book, disturbing echoes of that long ago murder are found in the woods around the house. At first, the Anchor-Ferrers are reassured by the swift arrival of DI Honey and DS Molina, but soon begin to wonder if the real threat might come from a direction none of them expected.

I was chatting to Megan during preparation and there are almost points where Honey gets so wrapped up in what he's doing that he could do something really dangerous and regret it. To get into all of that was a real joy. I think they're mostly unsettling because they're pretty incompetent and they have a penchant for the theatrical - Honey in particular, but Molina is a bit of a liability. They become desperate when things start to go wrong and there’s lots of other outside factors that keep putting more pressure on them which forces them to become more and more desperate. You then see them resort to more desperate measures the more the pressure builds. Sacha Dhawan and Iwan Rheon (on right) as Honey and Molina.

Annes Elwy as Lucia Anchor-Ferrers I am so sad that my relationship with Hayder has come to an end! I have spent the last few months binge reading all her writing and now I don't know what to do with my life! As well as this, the actor has also starred in Misfits, The Dirt, Barbarians, Y Golau, and Vicious. Sacha Dhawan as Honey

In relation to Lucia, Matilda hasn’t really gone on the journey with her daughter to discover what it is that’s disturbing and upsetting for her, so there’s a sense of irritation and disappointment as well as love. But during the course of the series, in this very extreme situation, I think she discovers how profound her love of this daughter is and that she would indeed die for her to prevent her daughter suffering at all. Rowlands, Eve (15 February 2023). "First look images of Marvel and Game of Thrones stars in Welsh-made BBC drama Wolf". Wales Online . Retrieved 24 May 2023. The dark, sadistic character revels in torture, subjecting his captives to a series of mind games – a role that will prove familiar to Rheon. We first meet Honey and Molina at the beginning of the series when they con their way into the Anchor-Ferrers home. It was great to play those scenes. When I was prepping for Honey, I wanted to make it clear that Molina and Honey are two different characters. Honey, unlike Molina, is very tidy, sharp and focused about making this job meticulous. That's his motivation - to complete it to the best of his ability. The stakes are so high because he's also he's got to fund his family but they’re of course kidnapping a family so there’s a lot of risks and things that could go wrong. Honey and Molina really are chalk and cheese but Molina is the only person Honey has and they’ve got to function together to get out alive. She also described it as: “A riveting crime story was baked into Mo’s novel – such incredible plotting – as a screenwriter, it completely hooked me in.” Where was it filmed?Juliet Stevenson plays nervous mother Matilda Anchor-Ferrers, who gets held hostage at her home. Juliet says: "Matilda is an upper middle class woman from a wealthy family. Her and her husband, Oliver, have two children. The son, who isn't present in the story, is a bit of a big success story which probablymeans a lot to this family as it seems there’s likely been pressure to be successful in this family. Their daughter, Lucia, who in worldly terms has been less successful and is very troubled. From when we first meet them in the car in the first scene, there is a lot of history and delicate references to the troubles that they’re bringing with them. In most crime novels the violent act, usually the murder, is the engine. Take that away and there is little left to drive the story along. So I do get a little cross with authors who aren’t precise about the violence they’re using to create tension because I feel they’re being dishonest with their readers. If people don’t like the blood and violence in my books, fine, they can always close the cover and put it aside and maybe read a romance instead. – Mo Hayder” Sian Reese-Williams as DI Maia Lincoln. (Image credit: BBC) Juliet Stevenson on playing Matilda Anchor-Ferrers Since as far as I can see the book doesn’t set out to be anything more substantial than entertainment, then it all comes down to whether the reader finds the subject matter entertaining. I didn’t. In truth, I found it to be reasonably well written unsavoury pulp with an absurd plot, and am entirely untempted to read any more of Hayder’s work. For which I imagine we are all grateful… Stevenson has enjoyed a long and varied career on our screens with more than 90 credits to her name, including roles in Death in Paradise, Secret Invasion, The Village, Atlantic, and Riviera.
