Yes, that trailer absolutely ends with Mary locking herself in some kind of cage or fortified room and Gary looking at her in shock. That, along with all the talk of “wolves inside us” certainly suggests that maybe, possibly, Mary is a werewolf.
Could she be other things? Oh, without a doubt. In fact, the rest of the trailer is very careful not to lean into any sci-fi, fantasy, or horror elements. Almost everything is bright, sunny, and inviting, even when the topic is a young girl’s trauma. And yet watch the trailer with the seed of possibility that Mary is a werewolf and it all just seems to fit. She’s running away at dusk. Her husband mysteriously died. Did she rip him to shreds? Seems possible!
We have not yet see the show so we don’t know if any of this is true but it would be kind of amazing if it was. Add to it that Wolf Like Me was created and directed by Abe Forsythe, who did the 2019 Lupita Nyong’o genre film Little Monsters. That also starred Josh Gad and brought genre elements into an otherwise familiar scenario.
Wolf Like Me debuts all six of its 30-minute episodes on Peacock January 13. What do you think Mary’s secret is?
