The highly-anticipated show is arriving on American streaming services on January 13 but is actually an Australian production created by filmmaker Abe Forsyth (Little Monsters). It follows a single father whose life is turned upside down when a new woman literally comes crashing into his life.
Gad, the voice of Olaf in Frozen, and Fisher, the star of comedies like Wedding Crashers, Definitely, Maybe and Confessions of a Shopaholic, lead the cast of Wolf Like Me. The entire season will be available to watch from day one when it drops online.
What is Wolf Like Me about?
As the trailer for the new drama series shows, Gary (Gad) is a single father to a little girl, when one day they get into a car accident. Mary (Fisher) steps out to apologize and assist, and a relationship forms from there.
Gary is described as an emotional wreck since the death of his wife, meanwhile, Mary has a secret she can’t bring herself to share with anyone. As the trailer shows, Mary also has a habit of literally running away from situations much to the chagrin of Gary. The universe brought them together for a reason, they just need to keep following the signs.
