Wolf Pack will not be returning for a second season. Per Deadline, Paramount+ has cancelled the supernatural series starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. While never renewed officially for season two, those behind the series were actively working on scripts and had hoped to start filming next month.

Armani Jackson, Bella Shepard, Chloe Rose Robertson, and Tyler Lawrence Gray also starred in the series, which premiered on the streaming service in January 2023. Created by Jeff Davis and based on the novels by Edo Van Belkom, Wolf Pack follows a pair of teens who see their lives changed when a wildfire near their home awakens a powerful supernatural creature.

The following was revealed about the decision to cancel the series:

It comes as Paramount+ continues cutting costs, which also includes mass layoffs. Bob Bakish addressed this in a memo to his team on Thursday that the company will continue to reduce its global workforce “to operate as a leaner company and spend less” after Deadline revealed over the weekend that the company was bracing for more staff cuts, thought to be in the hundreds including the programming teams.

Bakish said that Paramount would be “closely managing costs” and said it was “focusing our resources on the most powerful, resonant franchises, films and series that perform across platforms globally.”

What do you think? Did you watch the Wolf Pack series on Paramount+? Were you hoping it would be renewed for a second season?

Comedian Gary “G-Thang” Johnson Bringing New Special ‘Sitcho Ass Down’ To ALLBLK

EXCLUSIVE: AMC Networks-operated streaming service ALLBLK has commissioned Sitcho Ass Down, a new comedy special from comic Gary “G-Thang” Johnson, which will tape at the El Portal theatre in Los Angeles on January 26 and debut exclusively on the platform this spring.

Directing the hour, in his first time out in the stand-up world, is Bentley Kyle Evans, showrunner of The Jamie Foxx Show, Martin and more, who exec produces alongside Johnson and Valarie Benning Thompson (My Name is Mo’Nique).

Currently touring and headlining The Improv and Laugh Factory clubs worldwide, Johnson launched his stand-up career at The Funny Bones Comedy Club in 1994. Over the course of his decades in the business, he’s featured for some of the biggest names in comedy, including Mike Epps, Cedric the Entertainer, Steve Harvey, D.L. Hughley, and Chris Rock.

Most recently on the road with Epps for his “Don’t Take It Personal” Tour and wrapping up the first season of BET’s Happily Ever After, Johnson has also been seen on shows like Grown Folks, Girlfriends, Half & Half, All of Us, The Shield, Punk’d, In Case of Emergency, Uncle Buck, Black-ish and more.

Johnson has also hosted BET’s The Game and co-hosted the NAACP Image Awards and The Soul Train Music Awards. On the theatre stage, he has starred in Cheaper to Keep Her opposite Vivica A. Fox and Brian McKnight.

“The timing could not be more perfect for this comedy special. I’ve been working on new materials for about eight months and I’m ready to let the world hear what I have to say, from my point of view,” Johnson told Deadline. “I’ve been a part of the ALLBLK family for some time now, with multiple projects currently streaming on their platform, so doing this special with them wasn’t even a question. They’ve always been supportive of me, and I’m excited about this new chapter in my life and the new direction in which I’m taking my career.”

Brett Dismuke, Head of Content for WE tv and ALLBLK, stated: “ALLBLK is incredibly excited to return to producing live comedy with the incomparable Gary “G-Thang” Johnson. We’ve worked with him for years across our original programming and special events slate…and I’ve been laughing nonstop since day one. Now, it’s our audience’s turn to see just how talented he is.”

Added director-EP Evans: “I’m extremely excited about the opportunity to direct my very first comedy special. It only makes sense that I add a comedy special to my resume since I’ve built my career working with some of the top comedians in the game. Gary has proven to be a great talent that possesses super star qualities and I’m very happy to be a part of his evolution.”

Previously, ALLBLK has produced comedy specials including Kevin Hart’s I’m a Grown Little Man, Charlie Murphy’s I Will NOT Apologize, Nephew Tommy’s Just My Thoughts, Donnell Rawlings’s From Ashy to Classy, Lil Duval’s Living My Best Life and many others. In addition to Hart, the streamer will soon debut new hours from Erica Nicole Clark, Lil Rel Howery and more.
