Directed by Steven Luke (The Great War), Operation Seawolf is set in the last days of WWII when Germany, desperate for any remaining opportunity to defeat the Allied powers, looked to their last remaining U-Boats for one final mission: to cruise all the way to New York City and attack the U.S. mainland.
Andre Relis (Wander, The Last Son) of VMI, Luke and Todd Lundbohm (The Last Son, The Requin) of 828 Media Capital are serving as producers. Financing was provided by 828 Media Capital.
Shout! Studios has boarded North America rights to Operation Seawolf, with a release date set for 2022.
