Every year, during the wolf hunting season, the deep forests of Norway and Sweden are swarming with hunters, activists, and police. The hunters see the wolf as a bloodthirsty beast and a threat to people living in the area. The activists see the hunt as an unfair slaughter of a beautiful animal. Kill or protect, both sides are willing to go extremely far to achieve their goal. Journalist Anders Kvaal is on the frontline, granting viewers exclusive access to the insular world of fiercely determined individuals from opposing ends of the spectrum when the hunters and activists clash.



Beyond the surface, this series unveils a battle that extends far beyond the realm of wolves. For those involved, it becomes a fight for survival, an ideological clash over values and existence itself. "Wolf War" uncovers a tale of threats, harassment, and clandestine organised networks, where money, power, and high-stakes politics lurk behind the scenes, shaping the fate of all involved.
