Filming Underway For CBBC's Award-Winning Drama 'Wolfblood'

Filming is underway on a new series of CBBC's 'Wolfblood'.

The award-winning drama is currently being filmed in Newcastle/Gateshead.
The series is produced for CBBC by CBBC Productions, the in-house production unit based in Salford, and is executive produced by Lucy Martin with Jonathan Wolfman producing.

The series was created by writer Debbie Moon and is a co-production with ZDFE in Germany.

Helen Bullough, Head of CBBC Productions, says: "We're thrilled to be bringing another series of amazing Wolfblood adventures to its droves of fans, who are so passionate about this brilliant brand.

"Newcastle/Gateshead is a great backdrop for the twists and turns of this enthralling fourth series, and we're delighted to have welcomed so many fine actors to the cast, with new faces appearing alongside familiar favourites."

With a new urban backdrop for the fourth series (12x30), former wild wolfblood Jana (Leona Vaughan) now takes centre stage, having left the security and seclusion of rural Stoneybridge and moved into the city where she forms a new pack.

The wolfblood's who play an important role in her adventures include corporate boss Imara (Michelle Gayle), her son TJ (Louis Payne), Matei (Jack Brett Anderson), his sister Emilia (Sydney Wade), and martial arts enthusiast Selina (Rukku Nahar).

Returning characters include Katrina (Gabrielle Green), Kay (Shorelle Hepkin) and their old teacher Mr Jeffries (Mark Fleischmann).

The series is due to be broadcast in 2016.
