Starring and executive produced by Isla Fisher and Josh Gad, Wolf Like Me again follows the romantic journey of a once-grieving father and lovely, yet secretive, werewolf. The unlikely pair fell in love and have managed thus far to navigate the coming-of-age angst of his pre-teen daughter and the baggage that comes along with being a werewolf. However, the happy couple now has a baby on the way, and that most certainly will come along with its own set of unique challenges. Especially, if their young child turns out to be a werewolf.

Wolf Like Me season 2 plot

Here is the official synopsis of the new season: 

"In the second season of Wolf Like Me, Mary (Isla Fisher) and Gary (Josh Gad) leap into the next phase of their relationship, facing their biggest challenge yet: pregnancy. As much as the two try to have a ‘normal’ pregnancy, it seems impossible with so many questions looming over them. Will their child be a human or a wolf? Just how long can they keep things secret from the rest of their family? Will what happened in the outback come back to haunt them? And with Mary’s former professor, Anton (Edgar Ramirez), suddenly in the picture, can their relationship withstand newly unearthed secrets from Mary's past?"
