Produced for STAN in Australia, <em>Wolf Creek<\/em> is based on the feature film of the same name, with John Jarratt reprising his role as murdering psychopath Mick Taylor.<\/p>\n<p>Produced by Screentime, a Banijay Group company, the six-part psychological thriller was adapted for television by Peter Gawler, Greg McLean and Felicity Packard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the kind of terrifying, in-your-face thriller that has become a Lionsgate trademark, and we expect it to resonate with audiences,\u201d said Jim Packer, Lionsgate&#8217;s president of worldwide television and digital distribution. &#8220;We\u2019re pleased to partner with the team at Zodiak Rights and believe that <em>Wolf Creek<\/em> will add an exciting new dimension to Pop\u2019s growing roster of programming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Wolf Creek<\/em> is a binge-worthy, premium revenge tale that we are thrilled to bring fans at the perfect time of the year,\u201d said Brad Schwartz, the president of Pop. \u201cTo turn everything you expect from a horror film around and hunt the psychopath through a strong and singularly-focused female protagonist is thrilling to watch. It is probably the scariest series to ever premiere on basic cable and will have viewers hooked by 13:40 of the first episode.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are delighted to be partnering with Lionsgate, whose team has demonstrated a great amount of enthusiasm for the project,&#8221; added Tim Mutimer, the CEO of Zodiak Rights. &#8220;In addition, Pop&#8217;s support for this original piece of drama will ensure that <em>Wolf Creek<\/em> makes a huge impact in arguably the most competitive media environment in the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON\/LOS ANGELES: Lionsgate has picked up the North American and Latin American rights to Zodiak Rights&#8217;s acclaimed Australian drama Wolf Creek and has licensed the show to Pop TV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":290,"featured_media":6460,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[211,1161,1050,647],"class_list":["post-6459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-lionsgate","tag-pop","tag-wolf-creek","tag-zodiak-rights","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Wolf Creek Lands U.S. Slot on Pop - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wolf-creek-lands-u-s-slot-on-pop\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Wolf Creek Lands U.S. Slot on Pop - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"LONDON\/LOS ANGELES: Lionsgate has picked up the North American and Latin American rights to Zodiak Rights&#039;s acclaimed Australian drama Wolf Creek and has licensed the show to Pop TV.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wolf-creek-lands-u-s-slot-on-pop\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-07-28T12:30:32+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2016-07-28T12:49:17+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2015\/09\/WolfCreek-716.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wolf-creek-lands-u-s-slot-on-pop\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wolf-creek-lands-u-s-slot-on-pop\/\",\"name\":\"Wolf Creek Lands U.S. Slot on Pop - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2016-07-28T12:30:32+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-07-28T12:49:17+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wolf-creek-lands-u-s-slot-on-pop\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wolf-creek-lands-u-s-slot-on-pop\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wolf-creek-lands-u-s-slot-on-pop\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Wolf Creek Lands U.S. Slot on Pop\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\",\"name\":\"Mansha Daswani\",\"description\":\"Mansha Daswani is the editor-in-chief and associate publisher of World Screen.
