“If you miss the glory days of ‘Homeland,’ or you wish for a combination of political thriller and bitter-rich-people domestic drama, give…‘The Accidental Wolf’ a try.” - The New York Times

Created by the Tony Award nominated and award-winning director/writer/actor Arian Moayed (Succession), The Accidental Wolf was originally released independently, earning Kelli O’Hara an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Actress in a Short Form Comedy or Drama Series for her role. Topic will be premiering an updated and re-imagined season one that includes new footage.

Topic is the new streaming service from First Look Media, curated for a curious and engaged audience seeking smart, provocative and meaningful entertainment. Launched last year, the rapidly growing service features North American premieres and exclusive programming from around the world, complemented by a diverse slate of originals. Recent programming includes: the weekly comedic variety series Second City Presents: The Last Show Left on Earth; Down from London from executive producer Sharon Horgan; horror anthology series Soul City from filmmakers Coodie and Chike; BAFTA TV Award nominee The Virtues from filmmaker Shane Meadows starring Stephen Graham; Maria Bamford’s discussion show on mental health, What’s Your Ailment?!; and critically acclaimed documentary and narrative films such as Behemoth and We Need to Talk About Kevin.

Synopsis :
Katie Bonner lives an unexceptional life. Married to a successful attorney, she cares for their newborn, and quietly exists in her Manhattan penthouse. One night, Katie (played by the Tony Award® winning Kelli O’Hara) receives a call from an unknown number. On the other line, a distressed man fights for his survival as gunshots and explosions echo in the background. In his final moments, the caller pleads for the life of his pregnant and wounded wife, Tala. Deeply affected, Katie embarks on a journey to find her. Before too long, the mystery of the unknown caller and search for Tala threaten to cost Katie everything.
