Apple orders Wolfs sequel ahead of September release
David Farnor | On 16, Aug 2024
Apple TV+ has already ordered a sequel to Wolfs before the film’s release this September.
Helmed by Jon Watts, the film stars George Clooney and Brad Pitt and follows a professional fixer (Clooney) hired to cover up a high-profile crime. But when a second fixer (Pitt) shows up and the two “lone wolves” are forced to work together, they find their night spiralling out of control in ways that neither one of them expected. The star-studded cast also includes Amy Ryan, Austin Abrams, Poorna Jagannathan, Richard Kind and Zlatko Burić.
The film will premiere at the Venice Film Festival before hitting cinemas in 20th September and Apple TV+ on 27th September. Before either of those releases, though, Apple has already given the green light to a sequel.
The film is part of Apple’s slate of star-led feature film projects, including F1 – starring Brad Pitt from director Joseph Kosinski – The Instigators,, starring Matt Damon and Casey Affleck for director Doug Liman – and Blitz, from Steve McQueen, which premieres on 22nd November.
“Wolfs is the kind of big event movie that makes Apple TV+ such an exceptional home for the best in entertainment,” said Matt Dentler, head of features, Apple Original Films. “With George and Brad’s remarkable and engaging chemistry under Jon Watts’ extraordinary direction, ‘Wolfs’ blends all the great elements of comedy, action and drama into a hugely entertaining movie that will leave audiences ready for what’s next. Releasing the movie to theaters before making it widely available to Apple TV+ customers brings the best of both worlds to audiences, and we’re excited to see fans embrace the movie as we start working with Jon on the sequel.”
