It looks like Brad Pitt and George Clooney won’t be slipping into matching leather jackets and solving crimes again anytime soon. Apple TV+ has officially hit the brakes on Wolfs 2, leaving fans of suave detectives and jawlines sharper than their dialogue sorely disappointed.
Let’s rewind. Back in August 2024—before anyone had even seen the first Wolfs—Apple TV+ was so pumped about its “biggest premiere ever” that it announced a sequel like a kid calling dibs on dessert before dinner. Fast forward a few months, and it turns out the streamer had second thoughts, leaving Pitt, Clooney, and their luxurious haircuts benched.
Director Jon Watts, who helmed the first Wolfs and has a résumé that screams “I’ve got options,” casually dropped the cancellation news like it was no big deal while hyping up his Star Wars series, Skeleton Crew.
“I don’t know what I’m directing next, and I don’t think there’s going to be a Wolfs sequel,” Watts told Collider. Translation: “I’ve already moved on to galaxies far, far away, so, uh…sorry, not sorry?”
Meanwhile, Variety confirmed that the sequel plans had been officially “scrapped.” And let’s be real, “scrapped” is Hollywood-speak for “We spent three months pretending this was a thing before realizing we’d already lost interest.”
So, what does this mean for Wolfs fans? No Wolfs 2: Electric Boogaloo. No Pitt and Clooney banter-off rematch. Just the original movie, which now stands as a one-hit wonder in the Apple TV+ archives.
But hey, with Brad and George’s charm levels maxed out at “irresistible,” they’ll land on their feet. And who knows? Maybe they’ll team up again someday for Wolfs 3: This Time It’s Personal—if Apple changes its mind or Netflix swoops in for a dramatic save. Until then, we’ll just have to settle for rewatching the first Wolfs while shedding a single, glamorous tear.
