Wolf Like Me music supervisor Andrew Kotatko discusses his collaboration with show creator Abe Forsythe, new songs for season 2, and more.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The compelling Peacock dramedy Wolf Like Me is back for season 2. Isla Fisher and Josh Gad return as Mary and Gary, and Fisher’s secret—that she is a werewolf—is closer than ever to being discovered. Wolf Like Me continues to be written and directed entirely by Abe Forsythe, the Australian filmmaker known in part for his 2019 zombie film Little Monsters.

I fell into music supervision many years ago, in the ‘90s. I did The Portrait of a Lady for Jane Campion; that was my first ever project. I was 23 at the time, I found the composer for the film, and I had an incredible creative collaboration with Jane. That happened through a dear film editor friend of mine, who's no longer with us, who introduced me to Jane as somebody who was just basically a film music geek.

It seems like Abe Forsythe is your opposite in a way because he is the creator and the director, but he seems very specific about musical choices. Can you describe how you two work together? I don’t want to give too much away, but I think I can say that the first thing you hear is “Here Comes the Sun”, and I know it comes back in different ways. What is it like to take a song like that and repurpose it to fit the story?

I love the fact that it has a transformative arc that goes from a quartet version in the opener to Nina Simone's beautiful performance of it to George Harrison’s seminal performance of it. To me, there's a beautiful through line for the journey of that song that's so connected to the arc of the characters and what is happening to Mary throughout the show.

The range of music in this is crazy, to. I don't think I've ever heard Dolly Parton and Queens of the Stone Age within the same 30-minute span before. Were you ever worried that something wasn't going to work because it was too opposite from what's coming next or what came before?
