Women are dying and nobody knows why. A vagrant turns up at the small police station in Görlitz, claiming to have seen a werewolf. As police officer Raaben, Roland Wolf takes down what the dirty, foul-smelling man has to say. The report is filed, but no one believes him. Then a body is found in the woods. And the homeless man becomes a victim too. Their second case pushes Görlitz CID detectives Burkhard "Butsch" Schulz (Götz Schubert) and Viola Delbrück (Yvonne Catterfeld) to their limits, both mentally and physically: they are most likely dealing with a serial killer who murders young women in agonising fashion, always following the same pattern. For once, Wolfsland is not set in a big city but in the small town of Görlitz, right on the Polish border. There are still dark forests and lonely stretches of land out here. Made to measure for a gripping crime drama. Roland Wolf greatly enjoyed his time in Görlitz. "Görlitz is beautiful, very cosy and tranquil. What was really lovely was that after we wrapped in the evening we could walk across the bridge into Poland for dinner." Roland Wolf got on famously with his fellow actors. The collaboration with director Tim Trageser went incredibly well too. "When there''s no need to debate the script on set, you know it''s good." And that was exactly the case on the shoot for Wolfsland. "The ending is explosive," Roland Wolf reveals. So anyone who has got a taste for it and wants to know which twists the script takes can head deep into the Görlitz forest alongside the detectives on 15 December 2016, at 8.15 p.m. on ARD.
