Woodwalkers trilogy wraps filming ahead of January 2027 finale

The cameras have stopped on Woodwalkers 3.

Studiocanal has announced the official wrap on the third and final film in the Woodwalkers trilogy. The finale is set for a theatrical release in Germany on 28 January 2027, according to Deadline. The announcement on 23 September 2026 included a first image from the new film.

The trilogy is a production between Blue Eyes Fiction and Studiocanal Germany. It launched in 2024 and has since drawn more than two million admissions in Germany across its first two films. Admissions means tickets sold.

The story comes from the best-selling novels by German writer Katja Brandis. They follow Carag, a 13-year-old who can change shape into a puma, as he finds his place among others who share his secret.

Much of that story plays out at Clearwater High, a secret boarding school for Woodwalkers like Carag. The second film picks up with Carag and his friends Brandon, Holly and Lou at the start of a new school year there. The production company lists the series as fantasy, family entertainment.

Filming on the third entry began in summer 2026. The shoot took place on location in Romania and in Bavaria, Germany. That is a wide footprint for a German-language family series.

Florian Sigl returned to direct the finale. Emile Chérif is back as Carag, with Oliver Masucci playing Andrew Milling, according to Deadline. The casting keeps the central face of the series in place for its closing chapter.

Behind the camera, the film is produced by Blue Eyes Fiction, with Lothar Hellinger as producer, in co-production with Studiocanal and Dor Film Vienna. The trilogy is made in German. Studiocanal first took the opening film to international buyers at Cannes in 2024, where it was presented as an ambitious three-part plan, according to Deadline.

The second film rolled out with a world premiere in Munich, followed by premieres in Cologne, Stuttgart, Sulzbach and Leipzig. That kind of multi-city launch is built for a young audience that turns up together.

For fans, this means the wait now has a clear end point. One image is out. The shoot is done. The last return to Clearwater High is dated.
