With the television success of The Vampire Diaries and The Twilight Saga: New Moon breaking the bank for its owners at the box office, it doesn't come as a surprise that a TV network is making a series about feuding werewolves. The only thing that could surprise me is if there's a werewolf character over the age of 30 in the show.

Howl is being developed by DreamWorks Television for the Fox network. Written by Joshua Miller and M.A. Fortin, the action takes place in that state where you can see Russia from out of your window, Alaska. There are numerous werewolves in the town, all with grudges against their rival families over who is the alpha dog pack in town.

Miller told Variety that his angle on the werewolves is to tie them into the psychology of change, making an allegory between the metamorphosis of changing one's body into another shape and the societal changes taking place within America. Is that Hollywood-speak for "Sarah Palin used to be the governor of Alaska and now she's gone rogue"?

Since the show is still in the early stages of being developed there hasn't been any casting for it yet.
