NEW YORK -- Isla Fisher's character in the new genre-bending series “Wolf Like Me” is a romantic catch. Kind of.She speaks four languages, makes cheese and pottery and is good at close-up magic. On the other hand, she can be distant and absolutely beastly.
Oh, that reminds us: She has a pretty big personal secret.“I’m a complicated person," she tells her onscreen potential romantic partner, played by Josh Gad, in the first episode. "I have a really complicated life.”His character understands perfectly: He’s a bit of a mess, too, an emotional wreck since the death of his wife and he's trying in vain to connect with his tween daughter.That's the set-up to the new ambitious Peacock six-part series that starts Jan. 13 and mixes slapstick comedy, adult drama and heartbreaking trauma.
It's a story of two scarred people learning to be vulnerable again.“Love is scary,” says Gad. “I think that however you slice it, we all have secrets. We all have baggage.
And you don’t know what you’re getting until you’re in it. And then once you’re in it, it’s too late.”“Wolf Like Me” was created, written and directed by Abe Forsythe, who previously wrote and directed the sci-fi horror comedy movie “Little Monsters,” starring Lupita Nyong’o and Gad. Like that film, “Wolf Like Me” mixes genres — this time romantic comedy and horror — to push into the absurd and come back with something sweet and dramatic.“I was drawn to telling a timeless story in such a unique way,” says Gad.
