Sources say Paramount hoped the audience behind the series would have grown from Season 1 to Season 2, but due to the dual Hollywood strikes, the likelihood of that happening was cut short since production was stopped. Season 2 would’ve arrived roughly two years after Season 1 debuted.
The series serves as the latest Paramount+ original to be canceled following “Joe Pickett,” which ended after two seasons in October 2023. Along with the rest of last year’s cancellations including “iCarly,” “The Game,” “Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies,” “Star Trek: Prodigy,” “Queen of the Universe,” “Seal Team,” “Fatal Attraction,” and “Rabbit Hole,” that leaves Paramount with a slate that includes, among other titles, new seasons of “Tulsa King,” “School Spirits,” “Mayor of Kingstown,” and “Criminal Minds: Evolution” which star Paget Brewster teased was meant to start production this month. Renewal decisions for “Special Ops: Lioness” and “Lawmen” have not yet been announced.
Davis served as writer and executive producer of “Wolf Pack” as part of his multi-year deal with MTV Entertainment Studios. Joe Genier and Mike Ellior executive producd via Capital Arts, with Jason Ensler also executive producing.
