‘Family Pack’ – First Look Image Unveiled for Netflix’s French Adaptation of ‘Werewolf’ Board Game

In the board game The Werewolves of Thiercelieux, inspired by Werewolf, paranoia and mistrust ensues as players seek to uncover the hidden identity of a werewolf in their midst. Netflix unveiled a first look image at Family Pack this morning, a French comedy that adapts the game for what looks to be a fun werewolf romp.

As if that’s not intriguing enough, the cast includes Léon: The Professional actor Jean Reno!

The logline for Family Pack: “After discovering a mysterious card game, a family is thrust back in time to a medieval village where they must fend off dangerous werewolves each night.”

François Uzan (“Lupin”) helms the family-friendly feature.

The first look image gives us a peek at the cast of players unwittingly thrust into the werewolf fray. That includes Franck Dubosc, Jean Reno, Suzanne Clément, Jonathan Lambert, and Gregory Fitoussi.

Netflix France also unveiled a teaser video that highlight’s the film’s board game origins and its original French title, Loups-Garous, below.

Uzan’s comedic, family-friendly adaptation isn’t the first time that the game Werewolf has inspired a genre film. Josh Ruben’s Werewolves Within adapted the VR game of the same name for a raucous lyncanthropic whodunnit in 2021. In 2022, Bodies Bodies Bodies delivered a delightfully mean spin on the “Werewolf” social deduction game. But Family Pack appears to be the first to embrace the medieval setting featured in most of the board game versions of Werewolf.

Family Pack was unveiled as part of Netflix’s “What’s Next” lineup this morning for their 2024 film slate.

No release date has been announced as of yet, so stay tuned.
