Behind the Scenes
Wolf King is an upcoming animated series directed by Tom Brass. The show is produced by Lime Pictures in collaboration with Jellyfish Pictures and Assemblage Entertainment. The series features a talented creative team, including writers Andrew Burrell and Celia Morgan, with Tom Haines composing the music.
Jobling’s Wereworld series, which was published between 2011 and 2013, spans six novels. It remains unclear if the first season will adapt only the first book, Rise of the Wolf, or incorporate elements from multiple installments.
However, Jobling has stated on his website that he is “adapting all six novels as lead writer and associate producer.” If successful, Wolf King could follow a “one season – one book” format, allowing the full saga to unfold over multiple seasons. (via What’s on Netflix)

“Curtis’ Wereworld book series is a truly distinctive epic,” he shared, expressing excitement for viewers to explore its world. Abela added that Lime Pictures was approached to bring an animated project to life after their work on Free Rein and Zero Chill, describing Wolf King as “striking and special.”
Jobling reflected on the journey, stating, “Until Lime Pictures and Netflix knocked on my door four years ago, I would never have dreamt that we’d see my Wereworld books make the transition from page to screen.”
