![]() Jackson ultimately became this creature after he was given the bite by then- Alpha Werewolf Derek Hale when his inner emotional issues (stemming from the abandonment and lack of personal identity he felt as a result of his biological parents' death before his birth and subsequent adoption by the Whittemore family) forced his transformation to become corrupted. Jackson Whittemore is the only known person in the series to be a true Kanima, although, judging by photos of Eichen House patients who had trephination on them by Gabriel Valack, there has been at least one other Kanima in Beacon Hills in recent history. ![]() Unlike a Werewolf, who is predisposed to seek out a pack (as it both makes them more powerful individually and provides them with a support system of fellow Werewolves who are closer to them than family), the Kanima is an inherently subservient being who seeks out a master to control its actions. The Kanima is essentially a Werewolf whose transformation has somehow "gone wrong " it is believed that this is as a result of the personal demons in the Kanima's past, which for some reason caused the human to mutate and take on a more reptilian form. The more the priest and master influenced the Kanima, the symbiotic bond between the two grew until the Kanima began killing whomever its master wanted, regardless of whether or not the victim had taken a life. The legend in question detailed a South American priest who took control of a Kanima and used it to rid his village of murderers. Returning performer Sarah Michelle Gellar has confirmed that Wolf Pack will debut on Paramount+ in January 2023.In a legend about the Kanima found in the Bestiary belonging to the Argent family of Hunters, the being is known as a weapon of vengeance. This role will prove to be pivotal in the series, as the inciting incident of the first Wolf Pack novel involves a forest fire that awakens a terrifying supernatural creature, leading four teenagers to find one another as the mysterious monster wreaks havoc on their town. ![]() Gellar will step into the role of Kristin Ramsey, an arson investigator. A most welcome addition to the Wolf Pack cast is Buffy icon Sarah Michelle Gellar, who will also be an executive producer on the show. They will be joined by newcomers Chloe Rose Robertson, who will play Luna, and Tyler Lawrence Gray, who will take on the role of Harlan. Jackson and Shepard will take on the roles of Everett and Blake, respectively. Paramount+ previously announced that the cast of Wolf Pack includes Armani Jackson of Ready Player One fame, as well as Bella Shepard, who has acted in projects such as the iCarlyrevival and The Wilds. All in all, Wolf Pack has everything it needs to become another hit series without being a Teen Wolf spinoff, including a great cast, a strong premise, and a creator who clearly has a passion for paranormal storytelling. This potential to establish itself as a separate story can ultimately help Wolf Pack develop into a much stronger show. As a result, Wolf Pack will also have the chance to separate itself from Teen Wolf with a different approach to the supernatural world, just as other teenage paranormal drama shows that have come before, like Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. It should be noted, though, that while the Teen Wolf show was a loose adaptation of the 1985 movie Teen Wolf, Wolf Pack is based on a series of books written by speculative fiction author Edo van Belkom. Since both Wolf Pack and Teen Wolf share the same creator, audiences could expect similar influences. ![]() As Teen Wolf developed across six seasons, it was heavily inspired by various cultural supernatural myths. It will also be interesting to see how Wolf Pack tackles the myth of werewolves and establishes its own lore. Related: The Teen Wolf Movie Will Struggle To Escape Stiles' Shadow
