Here's a first look at award-winning Cbbc show Wolfblood which returns for a fourth series on Tuesday 4th March, with a new urban backdrop. Jana, played by Leona Vaughan is back with new characters Tj, played by Louis Payne, Matei, played by Jack Brett Anderson and Emilia, played by Sydney Wade.

Former wild wolfblood Jana (Leona Vaughan) takes centre stage, having left the security and seclusion of rural Stoneybridge and moved into the city where she forms a new pack.

The wolfbloods who play a pivotal role in her adventures include corporate boss Imara (Michelle Gayle), her son Tj (Louis Payne), Matei (Jack Brett Anderson), his sister Emilia (Sydney Wade), and martial arts enthusiast Selina (Rukku Nahar). Familiar returning characters include Katrina (Gabrielle Green), who has opened a new Kafe in town, Kay (Shorelle Hepkin) and their old teacher Mr Jeffries (Mark Fleischmann).

Update: Here's a link to Wolfblood creator Debbie Moon's blog on series 4 casting and more.

The supermoon couldn't have come at a more apt time. Cbbc's superb Wolfblood (here are our love letters to series one, two, and three if you needed catching up) is currently filming its fourth series in Newcastle and Gateshead.

It's all-change for the new series, according to the latest press bumf, which tells us that Wolfblood will be moving out of rural Stoneybridge and to the city.

There's been a shake-up in personnel too, as formerly wild Wolfblood Jana (Leona Vaughan) takes centre stage and forms an urban pack comprising a new gang.

Great news, cariads. This is the Tweet from Wolfblood creator Debbie Moon that we've been waiting to read since series three concluded last October:

"I can now confirm that a fourth season of #wolfblood has been commissioned!"

After what's felt like a very long wait (the series three renewal news came immediately after the series two finale), Wolfblood is returning to Cbbc. We hope you'll join us in a howl of excitement.

Now, stop howling. People are looking.

Moon followed up the message with clarification that as yet, she has no information on cast, filming, transmission dates or anything else, but will pass it all on as soon as it's confirmed. (If you're not already doing so, it's well worth following the show's creator on Twitter here, and regularly visiting her screenwriting blog, here.)

Now the finale has aired and a third series has been commissioned, we salute some of the highlights of Cbbc’s Wolfblood series two…

This feature contains plot details for Wolfblood series one and two.

Inventive humour and satisfying storytelling pay little heed to age brackets. Just as Horrible Histories and Adventure Time couldn’t limit their audience to school-age kids if they tried, neither can Cbbc’s Wolfblood, a drama that’s welcomed viewers of all ages into its growing pack.

Not that we interlopers gave Wolfblood any choice; construct a compelling world from likeable characters, peril, comedy and romance, and viewers seeking a decent story won’t be put off by an after-school timeslot. If you build it, they will… oh, you know the rest. Creator Debbie Moon and co. built it, and we came. Loads of us. Kids and grown-ups and everyone in between.
