Wolf Howl

Wolf Howl is an El Kadsreian animated supernatural teen drama television series created by Julian Broadway for ETVKK. The series follows Max Eve, a teenage boy who becomes a werewolf and—while learning to use his newfound powers—explores his past and the world around him.

The first season originally ran from January 9 to March 16, 2017. Because much of ETVKK's original programming was aimed at children aged 6 to 9 at the time it premiered, 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 that it would air on ETVKK and El TV Kadsre 3, albeit in different time slots. The new season ran from February 29 to March 7, 2020, and was met with positive reviews from critics, who praised the decision to allow the show to mature along with ETVKK's new late night schedule. A third season premiered on April 9, 2021, and the fourth and final season premiered on July 22, 2022. "The Final Battle", a two-part series finale, aired on September 30, 2022.

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 [...] so much so that it nearly killed ETVKK's reputation".

The season was also met with criticism due to ETVKK's other programs 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 the hell are you complaining?"

On March 8, 2017, NewsHome's Alex Hei posted on the site's blog, "ETVKK's new demographic might be 16-year-old boys with the premiere of an inappropriate cartoon called Wolf Howl, itself a harsh defamation of the once-kid-friendly El TV Kadsre Kids." 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 is for."

In response to the questions about the criticisms, Broadway stated in a May 2018 interview with XYZ News EK:
 * People have become sensitive, y'know? Like... other kid shows—shows aimed at younger kids drop all these, like, very implicit innuendos about things like sex and drugs, and then the writers are like, "Haha funny!" So please fucking excuse me for making an actually honest show targeting a more mature demographic, which itself airs in a time slot at which little children shouldn't be watching TV, anyway. It's not an "adult cartoon" or whatever the hell—it's mature animation.

Lawsuit
On January 3, 2019, screenwriter Todd Lynder filed a lawsuit against Julian Broadway and PPE Entertainment, 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 lawsuit as a whole was annulled because these were neither plot points nor episode ideas, "not to mention miniscule [claims] in general".
