Apple TV+ Cancels ‘Wolf’ Sequel Due to Director’s Lack of Trust

“Apple TV+ recently made headlines with its action comedy buddy flick ‘Wolfs,’ which became the most viewed movie in Apple TV+ history. Despite this success, fans hoping for a sequel may be disappointed to learn that there are no longer plans for an expected follow-up film.

Director Jon Watts shared in an interview with Deadline that he decided to cancel the sequel because he “no longer trusted” Apple as a creative partner. According to Watts, he showed Apple the final version of ‘Wolfs’ earlier this year and received positive feedback. Apple immediately commissioned him to start working on a sequel. However, there was a last-minute change when Apple decided to shift from a promised wide theatrical release to a streaming release without any explanation or discussion. This unexpected move came as a surprise to Watts, who was only informed less than a week before the official announcement.

Watts expressed his shock at the decision and requested that Apple not include any information about the sequel in their press release. Despite his plea, Apple went ahead and announced the sequel, which led Watts to quietly return the money he had been given for the project. While he didn’t want to generate negative press, Watts felt it was important to share the truth behind the cancellation of the sequel.

Apple had initially announced in August that a ‘Wolfs’ sequel was in the works, with Apple’s head of feature films expressing excitement about the project. The original film, directed by Watts, stars Brad Pitt and George Clooney as professional fixers who team up to cover up a high-profile crime. The movie was well-received, debuting in theaters before becoming available on Apple TV+.

Despite the cancellation of the sequel, Watts has expressed his appreciation for the cast and the experience of working on ‘Wolfs.’ While there may not be a follow-up film, fans can still enjoy the original movie on Apple TV+.”
