For all the Twilight fans who still can’t get enough of the werewolf drama, Taylor Lautner is making a major return to the big screen. After years of speculation about his next project, Lautner is set to star in and executive produce a new series titled Taylor Lautner: Werewolf Hunter. The series, in development at Amazon MGM Studios, will undoubtedly generate buzz, particularly from audiences who recall his memorable portrayal as werewolf Jacob Black in the Twilight franchise.
A New Interesting Role
In this scripted series, Lautner portrays an imagined version of himself. The official logline for Taylor Lautner: Werewolf Hunter introduces an interesting plot development. Following the last Twilight movie, Lautner appeared to vanish from public view, but in fact, he was getting ready for an even larger role—being a werewolf hunter. The series tracks his life as he gets pulled into a secret community of werewolf trackers who require his special skills. By day, he’s a Hollywood star, but at night, he battles supernatural beings. The show plays on the ultimate irony: battling the very monsters that brought him to fame.
Fan Reactions and Excitement
The show’s announcement has already generated buzz online. Fans are intrigued by the concept, with one saying, “Why am I interested in the idea?,” and others showing enthusiasm for Lautner’s career trajectory—going from acting as a werewolf to hunting them. Some fans even jokingly quipped, “This man needs to leave the werewolf roles ALONE,” demonstrating how much his Twilight role still holds a place in their hearts.
With this exciting new series, Lautner is re-entering the spotlight, and fans are waiting with bated breath to see him in action again—this time as a werewolf hunter.
