Recap / Wolf 359

Go To

Wolf 359 spans 61 main episodes over four seasons. Season 1 consists of mostly independent short stories, while the season finale and the following seasons are centered around the central plotline.

Bonus episodes consist of mini-episodes (which are shorter than the regular episodes) and specials (which are longer). Unlike the main episodes, these are not set in chronological order. They mostly serve as worldbuilding and character exploration, but they are considered canon, and some are quite important to understand the narrative.

Season 2 and 4 can be split up into two parts, as the arrival of Lovelace and Cutter and Pryce respectively bring as big a change as the previous season finales have done.
