New Wales-based<\/a> thriller Wolf<\/a> comes from Sherlock<\/a> and Inside Man<\/a> producers Hartswood Films, and all six episodes are now available to stream on BBC iPlayer.<\/p>\n

The series stars, among many others, Sacha Dhawan \u2013 who teased the show<\/a> while speaking with RadioTimes.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cSo it\u2019s crime, horror, sickly humour, and there\u2019s two narratives in it. My character features in the second narrative with an amazing actor called Iwan Rheon, who was Ramsay in Game of Thrones<\/a>. It\u2019s a very kind of dark story, but full of twists and turns.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really excited for people to see it. It\u2019s not quite what people think it\u2019s going to be. And it\u2019s great that the BBC are doing something like this.\u201d<\/p>\n

While viewers will doubtless be focused on the gripping, tense plot, with a family being taken captive and a detective working against the clock, they may also notice some classic well-known hits playing on the show\u2019s soundtrack \u2013 as well as some less well-known musical gems.<\/p>\n

The series also features an eerie, atmospheric score, but who composed the music for the series and which songs feature on the soundtrack?<\/p>\n

Read on for everything you need to know about the soundtrack behind Wolf<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The eerie, tension-brewing score for Wolf has been composed by Chris Roe, who previously worked on the ITV1 drama Trigger Point<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He has also composed scores for nature series such as Wild Babies and Shark with Steve Backshall, and for films including After Love and Blue Jean.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, music not only played a big part in the series on-screen, but also off, as Jack Caffery star Ukweli Roach revealed that he created a playlist specifically to get into character.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cFor me, a big part of my preparation was also music. I made a Jack Caffery playlist that I listened to and there\u2019s certain tracks from a range of different genres that really stick out to me as the lyrics would relate to Jack, his character or what he\u2019s going through in his life.<\/p>\n

\u201cMusic is a big way in for me \u2013 into the character, atmosphere and mood.\u201d<\/p>\n
