WOLFPACK OF RESEDA Launches on Myspace

Fox Digital has launched WOLFPACK OF RESEDA, a new original, scripted web series produced in partnership with Kia Motors. The series sees Ben March’s mundane, 20-something life transform when he becomes convinced he’s been bitten by a werewolf in the suburban-Los Angeles sprawl of Reseda. After forming his own “wolfpack” and becoming the alpha dog of Reseda, Ben’s moon is on the rise, but will it turn him irreversibly into the beast that will raise Hell in the Valley?

“WOLFPACK exemplifies the kind of storytelling and distribution that is ideal for the current digital media landscape,” said Matt Glotzer, senior vice president, Fox Digital Entertainment. “We are very excited to be working closely with Kia and Myspace to bring this original and darkly hilarious story to a broad audience on a wide variety of platforms.”

WOLFPACK’s first season of eight episodes will debut weekly on Myspace, and the series will also be available through a variety of digital stores. The cast features actors who have had recurring roles on The Big Bang Theory, Eastbound & Down, Lie To Me, Funny or Die Presents, and more.

About WOLFPACK OF RESEDA

Ben March hates his life. The torture of listening to motivational speeches from the slimy head salesman at work, the depressing apartment and foul smells of his Animal Control officer roommate at home, and – most of all – the crappy car that shuttles him between the two. There seems to be no escape from his suburban despair until one night he is bitten by a mysterious creature in the woods. Could he now be a werewolf?

Suddenly, he has the instincts of an alpha dog. For the first time, he pushes aside the mundane to do what he really wants with his life. Forming his own “wolfpack,” Ben makes his lair in Reseda, and has the run of the Valley. But soon, the threat of the murderous beast within him begins to rear its ugly head.

Mixing elements of workplace comedy with the conventions of horror, WOLFPACK OF RESEDA is a unique take on office life, the supernatural, and “winning.”
