Wolf cast: Meet the characters and actors in BBC One thriller
Ukweli Roach, Sacha Dhawan and Iwan Rheon lead the cast of the new BBC thriller.
The BBC's latest thriller, Wolf, has gripped viewers with its adaptation of Mo Hayder's Jack Caffery novels.
Brought to the screen by Sherlock and Inside Man producers Hartswood Films, the six-parter is available to watch on BBC iPlayer following a tense ending that certainly left room for Ukweli Roach's Caffery to return.
The drama follows two storylines that eventually collide. On the one hand, there's Caffery's search for justice for his brother, who was murdered when he was 10 by, Caffery believes, his neighbour in the '90s.
On the other, wealthy family the Anchor-Ferrers find themselves the victims of a psychopath’s cruel games.
Joining Roach (The Midwich Cuckoos) is a stellar cast that includes Game of Thrones star Iwan Rheon and Doctor Who’s Sacha Dhawan in major roles.
