FBI star Missy Peregrym’s overlooked horror movie Out Come the Wolves has found a streaming home. The survival film will debut on Hulu on Friday, June 20.
Out Come the Wolves is a reunion for Peregrym and director Adam MacDonald. The duo collaborated on the project after previously working together on his 2014 movie Backcountry — which pitted Peregrym against a vicious black bear. And according to MacDonald, the two films have much more in common.

An acclaimed horror film from last year gets a new streaming home.
Peregrym is once again battling the forces of nature in Out Come the Wolves, when a hunting getaway into the forest takes a terrifying turn. Her character Sophie, Sophie’s boyfriend Nolan (played by Damon Runyan) and her friend Kyle (Joris Jarsky) must all fight for their lives when they are methodically hunted by a pack of wolves.
MacDonald directed Out Come the Wolves based on a script by Enuka Okuma and Tyler Russell. The director told Bloody Disgusting that this movie, Backcountry and 2017’s Pyewacket are connected “in my own mind” because of all three films taking place in the wilderness.
“My dream was to make a trilogy. Originally, it was about women surviving extreme circumstances or the backdrop of the woods,” MacDonald confirmed. “So that was Pyewacket with the woods, and Backcountry and Out Come The Wolves, they all opened similarly. They close very similarly, and they open very similarly.”
MacDonald continued, “It’s just my love affair with the woods, and I wanted to make that the backdrop… [Peregrym’s character] was not capable in [Backcountry], so what is it like when she is capable? Of course, this is the cousin to that movie. If you liked Backcountry, I’m hoping you’ll like this and [us] being like, oh, we’ll take it to another level in a way with some more action.”

The movie will also be of interest to Peregrym fans who remember her starring role as Andy McNally in the Canadian police procedural Rookie Blue. Okuma — who in addition to writing Out Come the Wolves was recently seen as Xavier Collins’ wife Dr. Teri Rogers-Collins in Paradise and on HBO Max’s hit medical drama The Pitt — played Andy’s best friend Traci Nash on Rookie Blue. MacDonald had a recurring role as Steve Peck, Traci’s love interest and the brother of Officer Gail Peck, portrayed by FBI alum Charlotte Sullivan.
