Wolfblood

Wolfblood is a British–German fantasy teen drama television series targeted at a young adult audience. Created by Debbie Moon, it is a co-production between CBBC and ZDF/ZDFE. The television series revolves around the life of the species known as wolfbloods. They are creatures that have enhanced senses and look like humans but can turn into wolves at will. Their transformation is uncontrolled during a full moon, and they are at their weakest during "the dark of the moon", at a new moon. The television series focuses on their daily life and the challenges that they face to hide their secret. Each series has new characters and concepts and overall the television series has an interesting storyline. To date, five complete series have aired. Series 1 first aired on 10 September 2012 and concluded on 22 October 2012 and consisted of 13 episodes. Series 2 first aired on 9 September 2013 and concluded on 21 October 2013 and again consisted of 13 episodes.

Series 4 first aired on 8 March 2016 and concluded on 13 April 2016 and this time consisted of 12 episodes. A fifth season was announced on 6 June 2016 and began airing on 27 February 2017 and concluded on 1 May 2017 with 10 episodes. Since there has been no announcement of a sixth series, the show is presumed cancelled. The television series has won the Royal Television Society Award for the Children's Drama category in 2013. It also won the Banff Rockie Award in the category for 'Best Children's Programme (fiction)' in the same year. In 2015 the television series won the British Screenwriters' Award in the category 'Best British Children’s Television'. The second series was accompanied by a 10 part wildlife spin-off series exploring wolves which was produced by the BBC Natural History Unit, titled Wolfblood Uncovered and was hosted by Bobby Lockwood. The spin-off series first aired on 9 September 2013. Wolfblood Uncovered compares scenes in Wolfblood with facts about real wolves, and shows how real life wolf behaviour is reflected in the actions of the characters in the story.
