CBBC’s Wolfblood will be returning for a fourth season, following months of speculation about the show’s future.

Creator Debbie Moon announced the news on Twitter: “I can now confirm that a fourth season of #Wolfblood has been commissioned!”

The fantasy action drama launched in 2012 and follows the lives of a group of ordinary teenagers who lead secret lives as wolfbloods.

Moon added that “cast, filming dates, transmission dates or anything else” have not been confirmed, promising that “more details will follow when I have them”.

Wolfblood director Jermain Julien commented: “Wolfblood 4 is a go! You all knew it would happen, but let’s all take a collective sigh, I mean howl!”

Season 3 concluded last October on CBBC, when the wolfbloods faced their toughest challenge yet with Kincaid’s plan to eradicate their species.

Update: Debbie Moon has revealed that Season 4 will be “12 episodes, not 13.”
