Must read

George Clooney and Brad Pitt‘s new movie Wolfs has landed a streaming release after just one week in cinemas, with a sequel confirmed too.

The Apple TV+ sees the two stars play criminal fixers who discover they’ve been hired for the same job, and must work together if they want to get their bounty.

Following its previously-confirmed cinema release on September 20, it has now been confirmed that the movie will hit the streamer a week later on September 27.

Additionally, it has been revealed that a sequel is in the works, with director and writer Jon Watts set to return to oversee the follow-up.

Wolfs is the kind of big event movie that makes Apple TV+ such an exceptional home for the best in entertainment,” Apple Original Films’ head of features Matt Dentler said.

“With George and Brad’s remarkable and engaging chemistry under Jon Watts’ extraordinary direction, Wolfs blends all the great elements of comedy, action, and drama into a hugely entertaining movie that will leave audiences ready for what’s next.

“Releasing the movie to theaters before making it widely available to Apple TV+ customers brings the best of both worlds to audiences, and we’re excited to see fans embrace the movie as we start working with Jon on the sequel.”
