*Warning – contains full spoilers for all six episodes of Wolf*
Now that viewers have had a chance to binge through all six episodes of Wolf on BBC iPlayer, thoughts are turning to the potential for a second season.
Given the detective series already set up, there would certainly seem to be potential for Jack Caffery to jump on another case – while mysteries surrounding his own personal backstory are still to be fully unveiled.
But what have we heard so far about the potential for Wolf to return, when would a second season be released and who from the cast would be back to star?
Read on for everything you need to know about Wolf season 2.
Will there be a Wolf season 2?
It hasn’t been confirmed just yet whether Wolf will be back for a second season, but based on the end of the first, there is definitely scope for the series to continue.
The first season ended on a cliffhanger, as it became clear that Jack’s brother survived longer than at first thought – and may even still be alive.
There are also plenty of other Jack Caffery stories from Mo Hayder that could be adapted, although these would come from earlier books in the series.
We’ll keep this page updated once we get any further news on the potential for more seasons of Wolf.
When would Wolf season 2 be released?
It’s hard to say exactly when a second season of Wolf would be released, given that it has yet to be officially confirmed. We’d imagine that the absolute earliest it could arrive would be in a year from now, so around August 2023, although a later date in late 2023 or early 2024 might be more likely.

Wolf cast – who would be back for season 2?
If Wolf were to come back for a second season then we would certainly expect Ukweli Roach to be back as Jack Caffery. Beyond that, it’s hard to tell exactly who would be in the cast.
Cast members we can likely rule out returns for include Sacha Dhawan, Iwan Rheon, Owen Teale and Annes Elwy, whose characters died in season 1.
It’s also unlikely that Juliet Stevenson would come back, with the Anchor-Ferrers plot seemingly tied up. Instead, season 2 would likely focus on a brand-new case, meaning those who could come back include the police detectives played by Sian Reese-Williams, Ciarán Joyce and Kai Owen.
Meanwhile, based on the end of season 1, it seems further instalments would likely continue to focus on the mystery surrounding Jack’s brother’s disappearance – potentially bringing in Anthony Webster’s Ivan Penderecki and Tim Treloar’s Walking Man.
Here’s a full list of the cast who could potentially return for Wolf season 2:
- Ukweli Roach as DI Jack Caffery
- Sian Reese-Williams as DI Lincoln
- Ciarán Joyce as DI Prody
- Kai Owen as DI Matthews
- Anthony Webster as Ivan Penderecki
- Tim Treloar as Walking Man
