The description stated that Lautner will portray himself in the upcoming show and will focus on his life as a member of “a secret society of werewolf trackers.” The actor will be seen tackling his life as a Hollywood actor during the day and his role as a Werewolf hunter by night.
It further hinted at Lautner clashing with the “creatures that made him famous” and juggling “between saving the world, reviving his career, and falling in love.”
