Wolf Creek Lands FOX UK Slot

LONDON: FOX UK has acquired the psychological thriller Wolf Creek, based on the feature film of the same name, from Zodiak Rights.

The 6×1-hour series will premiere on FOX in the U.K. on August 30 in a 10 p.m. slot. The series sees John Jarratt reprise his role as murdering psychopath Mick Taylor, wreaking havoc in the Australian Outback.

Toby Etheridge, the head of programming at FOX UK, commented: “Wolf Creek is a slick and tense psychological drama boasting gnarly thrills and heart-stopping tension. FOX is renowned for its high-quality horror hits including exorcism drama Outcast and the American Horror Story franchise, making Wolf Creek a perfect addition to our portfolio. Mick Taylor may not be good for tourism, but he’s great for entertainment!”

Chris Stewart, the VP of sales and acquisitions at Zodiak Rights, commented: “Zodiak Rights is delighted to be partnering with FOX to bring this fantastic series to U.K. viewers. Wolf Creek terrified a generation when the original film released in 2005 and with the same creative team at the helm, this brand new series is guaranteed to provide another premium dose of tension and terror!”
