Peacock has given a straight-to-series order to Wolf Like Me, a six-episode half-hour genre-bending romantic comedy from Little Monsters helmer Abe Forsythe, starring Josh Gad and Isla Fisher. The series is produced by Bruna Papandrea’s Made Up Stories in partnership with Endeavor Content and Australia streaming service Stan.
Created and written by Forsythe, in Wolf Like Me, everyone brings their own set of baggage to a new relationship. Gary (Gad) and Mary (Fisher) are no different. Gary is an emotional wreck and struggles to provide for his daughter since the death of his wife. Mary has a secret she can’t bring herself to share with anyone. The universe brought these two together for a reason, they just need to keep following the signs.
Peacock is eyeing for development an anthology series from Good Girls creator Jenna Bans and the series writer-executive producer Bill Krebs.
