Taylor Lautner is set to star in a very self-aware(wolf) TV series.
Variety has learned exclusively that Lautner will star in and executive produce the scripted series “Taylor Lautner: Werewolf Hunter,” which is currently in development at Amazon MGM Studios. The project was brought to Amazon by Tornante, the independent studio behind shows like “BoJack Horseman” and the Amazon series “Undone.” Daisy Gardner is the creator and showrunner.
The official logline for the series states:
“After wrapping the final ‘Twilight’ film, Taylor Lautner vanished from the spotlight. Fans speculated, tabloids theorized—but the truth is wilder than fiction. Taylor wasn’t just taking a mental health break. He was preparing for his real calling…Taylor Lautner: Werewolf Hunter. Playing himself, Taylor is drawn into a secret society of werewolf trackers who need his unique expertise. As he navigates his double life—Hollywood actor by day, supernatural warrior by night—Taylor must wrestle with the ultimate irony: fighting the very creatures that made him famous. Between saving the world, reviving his career, and falling in love, he faces the ultimate question—what happens when your biggest role becomes your greatest enemy?”
