Wolf Howl

Wolf Howl is an El Kadsreian animated supernatural teen drama television series created by Julian Broadway for ETVKK. It is about Max Eve, a teenage boy living in Eirabourne who is bitten by a werewolf and is able to turn into one. The first season originally ran from January 9 to March 16, 2017.

Because ETVKK's original programs were usually aimed at children, the teenager-aimed series has been met with criticism, despite it being aired at 11:00 PM due to its content. On May 26, 2018, PPE Entertainment, the distributor of Wolf Howl, announced that the show was cancelled due to the criticism.

In August 2019, Julian Broadway announced that the show had been revived for a second season and has since been moved to El TV Kadsre 2's recently relaunched DEF II block. The new season ran from February 29 to March 7, 2020, and was met with positive reviews from critics, who praised the decision to move the show to El TV Kadsre 2. A third season premiered on April 9, 2021, and a fourth and final season is scheduled to premiere sometime in July 2022.

Premise
In Eirabourne, El Kadsre, a teenage boy named Max Eve (Vincent Stabler) lives with his father (Nolan Duland) and mother (Jennifer Lara). One night, Max wanders into a forest near his house and is bitten by a werewolf, transforming him into one. Now struggling with his new powers, Max tries keeping his powers a secret while trying to balance his two lives as a werewolf and teenager.

Conception and development
Julian Broadway claims he created Wolf Howl when he wanted to make an animated series about "a teen werewolf doing teen stuff". He pitched his ideas for it to Everest Animation, who agreed to animate the series. ETVKK volunteered to air the series late at night.

Reception
The first season was met with criticism for its suggestive themes due to the fact that it aired on ETVKK, a network intended for children. TheDailyVid.com called the show's first season, "the most controversial season that it nearly killed ETVKK's reputation".

Criticism and controversy
The first season of Wolf Howl has been with criticism due to ETVKK's network audience being aimed towards younger children. Online entertainment magazine Paragraf stated that the series's first season had "no business being on ETVKK" because of its inappropriate content, including mild language and mildly bloody violence. Paragraf ' s Jordan Bera stated, "ETVKK had no business airing an original show that was rated PG or M, even if it aired late at night or early in the morning." Julian Broadway responded with, "One of ETVKK's presenters created a very 'not for kids' sketch comedy. Why are you complaining?"

On March 8, 2017, VirtuallyNews posted on their blog, "ETVKK's new demographic might be 16-year-old boys with the premiere of an M-rated teen drama called Wolf Howl." On December 1, 2017, voice actor Josh Hum posted on LifeConnect, "Wolf Howl is an interesting show, and I would say it's alright, but why is it on ETVKK? That is what ETVK3 and ETVK2's DEF II programming block is for."

On October 7, 2019, YourToonSource's Olhim Dee stated:
 * Considering that Wolf Howl is a very controversial series that was created by a man who created a perverted web series, this series's first season had no business airing on a television channel that targets the children of our fair country. With ETVKK having 5.27% audience share nationwide, children are being exposed to violence, sex, and language through a series aimed at teenagers and young adults. It is best that this series either moves to El TV Kadsre 3 or ETVK2's DEF II, since they announced the block's revival.

Lawsuit
On January 3, 2019, screenwriter Todd Lynder filed a lawsuit against Julian Broadway, claiming that the idea for Wolf Howl came from an animated series he pitched to El TV Kadsre Animation that was rejected. Lynder also had art of a character who looked similar to Max Eve with similar-looking werewolf and wolf forms. However, the charges were annulled because these were neither plot points nor episode ideas.
