Wolf Lake is an American television series that originally aired on CBS. Wolf Lake follows a pack of werewolves living in a Seattle suburb. Nine regular episodes were produced, but only five aired before the series was canceled; the full series later aired on UPN.
The series is available on DVD.
Seattle policeman John Kanin proposes marriage to his girlfriend, Ruby Wilder, and she accepts. However, as she gets into her car, she is attacked. The only thing Kanin finds of his now fiance, is a severed hand. He travels to her hometown of Wolf Lake to find some answers. However, his experiences there raise even more questions. What John doesn't know is that some of the inhabitants of Wolf Lake are actually werewolves. The werewolves, or the ones who survive the change, live on the "Hill" and enjoy special treatment, separated from the normal humans.
The New York Times said it was "a promisingly quirky pilot." Variety's Michael Speier "sometimes works as high drama but sometimes comes off as extremely silly"
The show received two Emmy nominations for Outstanding Main Title Design and Outstanding Main Title Theme Music.
