Stan has announced that Wolf Creek is returning for a second season, bringing with it deadset legend John Jarratt as iconic murderer Mich Taylor, and creator Greg McLean as showrunner and director.
“The journey we took in taking Wolf Creek from film into award-winning drama with season one on Stan opened us up to all the possibilities that world offered,” McLean offered. “I couldn’t wait to get back into the epic Australian landscape, and delve deeper into the twisted mind of our iconic and terrifying villain; Mick Taylor. We’ll be pushing the envelope even further to create more thrilling, addictive, must-see drama.”
Mick Taylor is expected to recommence the slaughter in late 2017.
Also new to the Aussie streaming service is One Night Stan, a series of feature length comedy specials filmed live at Melbourne’s iconic Comedy Theatre exclusively for Stan. the series kicks off with Wil Anderson’s “Fire At Wil”, followed by Tom Ballard, Celia Pacquola, Tom Gleeson, Sam Simmons and Judith Lucy on a weekly release schedule.
Anderson was suitably chuffed about the enterprise, saying, “It’s so gratifying to see Stan supporting Australian comedy and doing it in the best way possible – making full-length specials with my favourite comedians. Oh and also me. Although I am not going to watch that one, but I hope you do!”
“Fire at Wil” drops on March 24.
