‘Wolf King’ on Netflix: Everything You Need to Know

Netflix has brought to life the world of Wereworld from Curtis Jobling in a new animated series called Wolf King. Now streaming on Netflix, here’s what you need to know about Wolf King – an epic adventure fantasy series and a coming-of-age story produced by Lime Pictures with animation by Jellyfish Pictures.

Let’s start with who’s behind the show Wolf King is directed by Tom Brass, whose VFX and animation credits include Captive State, The Innocents, Nova, and more. The writing team for Wereworld includes Celia Morgan (Eastenders, Jamie Johnson) and Andrew Burrell (Disenchantment, Eastenders).

Curtis Jobling was also actively involved throughout the entire production of the show serving as lead writer and associate producer. Speaking about the series in a statement, Jobling said: “Until Lime Pictures and Netflix knocked on my door four years ago, I would never have dreamt that we’d see my Wereworld books make the transition from page to screen. It’s been a fantastic journey through production (appropriate for such a fantastic tale) and I hope that when Wolf King finally lands, viewers can see the love, detail and incredible hard work our talented team have put into it.“

Jellyfish Pictures is behind the series’ animation. They have previously worked on How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming, Spirit: Untamed, The Boss Baby, The Bad Guys, and Kung Fu Panda. For Netflix, the team is currently working hard on the 2025 Roald Dahl adaptation, The Twits. Tom Haines (Glow-Up: Britain’s Next Make-Up Star) will compose the music for the series. Angelo Abela, Tim Compton, Curtis Jobling, and Barry Quinn produced the series for Lime Pictures. As far as we can tell, Netflix’s Wereworld has been in production since at least June 2022.

What’s the plot of Netflix’s Wolf King?

Netflix’s Wolf King is based on Curtis Jobling’s Wereworld book series, which consisted of five books published from 2011 to 2013. On Curtis Jobling’s website, he states he’s “adapting all six novels.”

Here’s the official Netflix logline for Wolf King, which is described as an epic fantasy adventure with a dash of horror and aimed at a 12-13+ age group:

“Wereworld is an epic fantasy adventure series that follows Drew Ferran, as he comes of age and discovers he’s the last of a long line of Werewolves, and rightful (yet reluctant) ruler of a land governed by Werelords. Drew must fight to abolish the tyranny of the Lionlords and reclaim the throne.”
