Taylor Lautner Returns to His Werewolf Roots in New Amazon Series


Taylor Lautner is making a comeback in the most unexpected way—with a self-aware TV series that embraces his Twilight past.

Amazon MGM Studios is developing Taylor Lautner: Werewolf Hunter, a scripted show where Lautner stars as himself. The series, brought to Amazon by Tornante (the studio behind BoJack Horseman), promises a mix of action, humor, and supernatural adventure. Daisy Gardner (30 Rock, The Simpsons) serves as the creator and showrunner.

A Wildly Meta Plot

The show’s official logline teases a thrilling and hilarious premise:

“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.”

In this fictionalized version of reality, Lautner is recruited by a secret society of werewolf trackers who need his expertise. Balancing Hollywood life by day and battling supernatural threats by night, he faces an ironic twist—fighting the very creatures that made him famous.

Star-Studded Creative Team

Lautner isn’t just starring in the series—he’s also serving as an executive producer. Directors Matthew Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Scream, Ready or Not) are on board, along with Tornante’s Adam Londy and Tarik Kanafani.

A Nostalgic Yet Fresh Take

For Twilight fans, this is a dream come true. Lautner’s portrayal of Jacob Black, the werewolf with a heart of gold, made him a household name. Now, he’s returning to the werewolf world—but with a clever, self-aware twist.

Beyond Twilight, Lautner has built a varied career with roles in The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl, Abduction, and Scream Queens. With Taylor Lautner: Werewolf Hunter, he’s set to blend action, comedy, and nostalgia in a way that could make this one of the most talked-about series of the year.

Stay tuned for more updates as the show progresses!
