Juliet Stevenson, Owen Teale and Ukweli Roach taking on lead roles in the brand-new BBC thriller Wolf, set to scare, surprise, shock and even get some dark laughs
If you loved Sherlock and Inside Man and like sleeping with one eye open, then the BBC’s dark new crime thriller Wolf might be your next TV treat.
“I love thrillers,” confesses Juliet. “But they’ve got to be really good and this is a really edge of seat thriller. " The six-part drama has two narratives, the first sees Ukweli’s character DI Jack Caffrey obsessing over his neighbour who he believes murdered his 10 year-old brother in the 90s. Meanwhile, the wealthy Anchor-Ferrers family find themselves at the mercy of two psychopaths. When the two stories collide, it leads to a disturbing race against time.
“Honey is a complete psychopath,” explains Sacha Dahwan who plays him. “He holds the family hostage for a mysterious reason. You’d think it would be for money, but it’s not. But unfortunately, for Honey, he’s been lumped with the worst sidekick ever.” “It was horrific,” agrees Owen. “Because it is our job to believe it and wonder what it would be like for two people to be brought into your home and then do these things to you.”“The most difficult thing is when Matilda’s hanging upside down for long stretches of time,” reveals Juliet. “I had to train on a machine to acclimatise to having my head full of blood, it was physically quite challenging.
“It was a great day,” agrees Juliet. “It was great to see Ukweli give such a fantastic performance. It was weird for Owen and me because we filmed on separate days so we never saw the other half of the story, it’s so layered and rich and detailed.”
