Leigh Whannell and Blumhouse's Wolf Man, which hit theaters earlier this year on January 17, will begin streaming exclusively on Peacock on April 18.
Starring Christopher Abbott (Poor Things, Bring Them Down), Julia Garner (Apartment 7A, the upcoming Weapons) and Matilda Firth (Starve Acre), the new take on the Universal Monster movie classic was written by Whannell, Corbett Tuck, Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo, and follows the fallout of husband and father who is attacked by a mysterious animal on the grounds of the family's rural Oregon farmhouse:
Abbott stars as Blake, a San Francisco husband and father, who inherits his remote childhood home in rural Oregon after his own father vanishes and is presumed dead. With his marriage to his high-powered wife, Charlotte (Garner), fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, Ginger (Firth).
But as the family approaches the farmhouse in the dead of night, they’re attacked by an unseen animal and, in a desperate escape, barricade themselves inside the home as the creature prowls the perimeter. As the night stretches on, however, Blake begins to behave strangely, transforming into something unrecognizable, and Charlotte will be forced to decide whether the terror within their house is more lethal than the danger without.
A Digital and physical media release of Wolf Man followed in February and March respectively.
While not a huge hit at the box office, generating just $34.9 million from a $25 million budget, Wolf Man could clean up on streaming – January is a notoriously difficult month for theatrical releases, after all.
Catch Wolf Man on Peacock later this month, alongside other Blumhouse titles The Black Phone and Five Nights at Freddy’s. For more, check out Fango’s list of the 10 best werewolf movies to watch right now.
