Taylor Lautner is set to star in a very self-aware TV series, which he will also executive produce for Amazon MGM Studios, titled Taylor Lautner: Werewolf Hunter. The project was brought to Amazon by Tornante, the studio behind the beloved series BoJack Horseman. Daisy Gardner will serve as creator and showrunner, while Radio Silence duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett will serve as directors and exec producers.
The official logline, per a Variety exclusive, 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?”
Gardner is known for writing on critically acclaimed shows like 30 Rock, Silicon Valley, Modern Family, South Park, and The Goldbergs. Radio Silence’s most recent credits include Scream and Scream VI, as well as Abigail and Ready or Not.
