Josh Gad and Isla Fisher are to star in 'Wolf Like Me'.
Josh Gad
The 'Beauty and the Beast' star and the 'Now You See Me' actress are set to appear in the new series for Peacock, which has been described as a "genre-bending romantic comedy".
The synopsis of the six-episode series is as follows: "Everyone brings their own set of baggage to a new relationship. Gary (Gad) and Mary (Fisher) are no different.
"Gary is an emotional wreck and struggles to provide for his daughter since the death of his wife. Mary has a secret she can’t bring herself to share with anyone. The universe brought these two together for a reason, they just need to keep following the signs."
'Wolf Like Me' has been created, written and directed by Abe Forsythe as well as being executive produced by Forsythe. Jodi Matterson, Bruna Papandrea and Steve Hutensky from Made Up Stories will executive produce alongside Gad and Fisher.
Forsythe said: "'Wolf Like Me' is a very meaningful project for me. The stakes are extremely high but grounded by things we can all relate to. I’m so excited to have Isla and Josh on board, and I know the audience will be surprised seeing them in a different way as these characters. I was never going to tell this story with anyone other than Made Up Stories, and I feel very fortunate for us all to be teaming up with Endeavor Content and to have found a home with Peacock and Stan."
Whilst Lisa Katz, president of scripted content at NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, added: "We fell in love with Abe Forsythe’s imaginative storytelling and gift for creating complex and compelling characters. With the incredibly talented Isla Fisher and Josh Gad at the centre, 'Wolf Like Me' will be engaging, quirky and wholly original."
