About this deal

Stevenson has enjoyed a long and varied career on our screens with more than 90 credits to her name, including roles in Death in Paradise, Secret Invasion, The Village, Atlantic, and Riviera.

This role has been a challenge as you’re normally given a character and you explore who they are and how the story changes them. With this one, they go into such an extreme situation right at the beginning that they’re always in a nightmarish and extremist situation. So you don’t get to know Matilda as she might be on a day-to-day or casual basis. The victims as always play a wonderful part in this book. I love the way Mo Hayder invites us to meet new characters in her villains and victims. Her depth of character development in this book are a credit to her and a defining factor in how good this book is. Minnet kable, Minnet with the emphasis on the first syllable. Usually the name is never spoken aloud in this household.The confluence of these events is where I thought the story missed its mark. It could have been a blood curdling thriller but instead turned out very ho-hum for me. The credibility factor again! If you have never read a Mo Hayder book, do so, now! 'Wolf' is terrifying, provoking and utterly brilliant. Since then, she has appeared in the likes of Hidden, The Light in the Hall, Hinterland, Holby City, and Silent Witness. Juliet Stevenson as Matilda Anchor-Ferrers I definitely had favourites in this series (Birdman, Ritual and now Wolf) but I thoroughly enjoyed every single book, for a whole plethora of reasons and I am so good I found this author!

Will he find out who’s missing a dog? Are they okay? Are they in trouble? Will help arrive in time? Another draw to this project would be filming in Wales, it’s been a joy and I really adore the crews. They have been so supportive and allow me to do my best work especially when I’m doing some crazy scenes. Roach stars as DI Caffery, and he’s a troubled detective (aren’t they all?) who’s haunted by the murder of his 10-year-old brother in the ‘90s. Not only is he still obsessed by the case, but he’s convinced that the murderer is his old next-door neighbour. WOLF has something for everyone, especially those who like a great crime thriller. It's got plenty of horror, plenty of crime and a lot of action. It's got great dilemmas, interpersonal relationships and lots of twists and turns - everything that you could want. WOLF is unique because the series follows two parallel, quite deep and complex cases. It manipulates time with one storyline happening faster than the other but the two gradually catch up with each other to meet in their final culmination. Some elements are quite fantastical and theatrical which juxtaposes against the grit, gore and the action. I think audiences are really going to enjoy it. When I first read the script, I read all six episodes in a day – I just couldn’t put them down. As I was reading, I would be thinking “I really want to play that scene” and then I’d read the next one and think the same. When I got to episode five, I read this particular scene and I just instantly thought, “right, I’m in”. I’ve been looking to play a different kind of character and I just loved Molina’s journey. It’s been nice to do the comedy, stupidity and lightness of him.

The six-part series sees Ukweli Roach as Caffery, a young detective obsessed with a cold case close to his heart, while a second storyline involves a tense hostage situation – with the synopsis promising a ‘deeply disturbing race against time’ when the two plots become entwined.

Dhawan began his career appearing in ITV’s Out Of Sight and has since nabbed roles in Last Tango in Halifax, An Adventure in Space and Time, The Great, and Marvel series Iron Fist.

I was chatting to Megan during preparation and there are almost points where Honey gets so wrapped up in what he's doing that he could do something really dangerous and regret it. To get into all of that was a real joy.
