Maddy Smith is a normal teen with a big secret: she's a Wolfblood!
Neither completely wolves nor humans, Wolfbloods have great powers – super speed, strength and senses – and can change from human to wolf at will. Just as Maddy's getting ready for her first transformation, a new boy, the Wolfblood Rhydian, starts at her school. For both youths, the question is: “As we grow up, how do we know who we should be?” – a question only they can answer in this thrilling CBBC/ZDF/ZDF Enterprises coproduction.

Rhydian returns, fleeing for his life from Alric the wild pack leader, sparking a chain of events which will reverberate throughout the series in which nothing and no one is quite what they seem.
Alric's daughter, Jana, moves into the area, claiming she wants to live life as a human and Shannon has a hidden camera in the den. As Maddy sets out to prove herself worthy of being a pack leader, she and Rhydian must triumph over potential disaster again and again, confronting issues of trust, love and betrayal. But the world is closing in on their secret, with heart-rending consequences for both.

TERENCE 'TJ' CIPRIANI

IMARA CIPRIANI
played by Michelle Gayle Season 4+5
Imara is the new head of security at Segolia slipping comfortably into Victoria's stern shoes with a more Machiavellian approach.

She is an alpha, but, confronted by an equally capable alpha in the form of Jana, there will inevitably be conflict. Imara is first and foremost a mother to TJ. This love for her son which sometimes seems hard, will challenge her in ways she would never have predicted.

played by Leona Vaughan Season 2-5

Although, to some humans wolfbloods have a celebrity status, that is something Jana wants no part of.

When TJ is kidnapped by a man they only know as Hartington she and the pack uncover a terrifying conspiracy to destroy all wolfbloods.

EMILIA COVACI
played by Sydney Wade Season 4+5
Emilia returns from the wild with new wolfblood powers, a different pack and an extremist philosophy. She believes Jana's actions in revealing the wolfblood secret to the world was a betrayal of their species and, having experienced human hatred, preaches their superiority over humans. Matei is initially shocked at what his sister has become, especially when he sees who her most trusted advisor is. But as she questions Jana's commitment to him and teaches him Eolas, Matei begins to wonder where and with whom he belongs.
SELINA AKHTAR
played by Rukku Nahar Season 4+5
Selina has always been known for her discipline, hard work and obedient nature. However, wolfbloods get banned from competing in taekwondo, the thing she loves most and the rebellious side of her fearless nature comes out, amplified by ruptures at home. But when the full extent of Hartington's conspiracy finally bears its bitter fruit, Selina puts her family first, believing Hartington and his ilk will never be beaten.
IMARA CIPRIANI
played by Michelle Gayle Season 4+5
Imara now lives in more humble surroundings after the collapse of Segolia. Her authority and influence have taken a big knock and nothing highlights this more than when her son TJ ignores her instruction not to go to Hartington's full moon party and she ends up giving Hartington what he wants to get him back home safely. But Imara is a strong willed, cunning grown up, becoming Jana's staunch ally as they look to find answers that will help bring Hartington down.
KATRINA
Season 5
Katrina, although human, has become a kind of honorary member of Jana's pack and business is booming in the Kafe now that it has become the trendy place to go for those who want to hang out with wolfbloods. She has hired Imara's ex-Segolia security operative, Robyn, as a waitress and new flatmate, becoming Robyn's “Alpha” in the process. This creates a bond stronger than any she has had before - one that that will put her firmly in the pro wolfblood camp despite fierce opposition from her family.
JOSHUA HARTINGTON
Season 5
Joshua Hartington is even more cunning than any wolfblood. He has studied the species and knows that many wolfbloods embrace the human part of their identity more than their wolf. But he also knows that they are pack animals and believes they have infiltrated the highest echelons of society. He also believes it will only take one strong, cunning alpha to gather other wolfbloods in an uprising. So although the species fascinates him, Hartington is first and foremost a professional on a mission - to secure the future of the human race by eliminating all wolfbloods.
HAFREN
Season 5
Wild wolfblood Hafren grew up with Jana in Alric's pack. She attacks Jana, ostensibly out of hatred for betraying the wolfblood secret to the world. But it turns out that Hafren is not just the bitter lone wolf she seemed to be. There is a naivety there, a trust and belief that makes her easily manipulated.
