Taylor Lautner Lands New Gig

Taylor Lautner has landed a new-ish role. The type of role he is set to play will be a familiar one for millions, but it’s not exactly the same.

Lautner is set to star in Amazon MGM Studios new scripted series, Taylor Lautner: Werewolf Hunter. The official synopsis for the show “After wrapping the final ‘Twilight’ film, Taylor Lautner vanished from the spotlight. Fans speculated, tabloids theorized—but the truth is wilder than fiction. Taylor wasn’t just taking a mental health break. He was preparing for his real calling…Taylor Lautner: Werewolf Hunter. Playing himself, Taylor is drawn into a secret society of werewolf trackers who need his unique expertise. As he navigates his double life—Hollywood actor by day, supernatural warrior by night—Taylor must wrestle with the ultimate irony: fighting the very creatures that made him famous. Between saving the world, reviving his career, and falling in love, he faces the ultimate question—what happens when your biggest role becomes your greatest enemy?”

Variety was first to report the new earlier today. No word on when production will start but I am loving everything about this new project!
