Thought you’d seen the last of Mick Taylor? Think again. Get ready for another hair-raising season of Wolf Creek heading to Stan Australia.

Despite looking like he was a dead man at the end of season one (though we were left with a very big hint of his survival!), John Jarratt will reprise his iconic role as serial killer Mick Taylor for the Stan original series.

This time around, Mick sees an opportunity of a lifetime after a chance encounter with a coach full of tourists from around the globe. The unwitting travellers begin an outback adventure none of them could have imagined.

John will be joined by an all-star cast including Tess Haubrish (Alien: Covenant), Matt Day (Rake, Paper Giants, Underbelly), Ben Oxenbould (The Kettering Incident, The Code), Laura Wheelwright (Animal Kingdom), Stephen Hunter (The Hobbit, The Leftovers) and Chris Haywood (Shine, Muriel’s Wedding).

Director Greg McLean is also back on board for the second season.

“I’m delighted to be continuing my creative collaboration with Stan to bring this exciting new chapter of the Wolf Creek story to Stan subscribers,” Greg says. “We’ll join an amazing cast on a road trip of a lifetime, as they must draw on their inner strength to outwit the terrifying Mick Taylor.

“John Jarratt returns to take Mick’s dark arts to a whole new level, showcasing the beautiful and dangerous landscapes of the remote outback.”
