January 29, 2026 - Paramount+ announced today that the gripping two-part documentary from See It Now Studios, WILD BOYS: STRANGERS IN TOWN will premiere exclusively on the platform on February 18.

WILD BOYS: STRANGERS IN TOWN chronicles the astonishing true story of two young brothers who emerged from the forests of British Columbia in the summer of 2003, claiming they had been raised entirely off the grid—without schools, doctors or any record of their existence. When a local mother takes them in hoping to help the brothers build a new life, a small-town obsession is ignited with journalists and authorities digging deeper and raising unsettling questions about how far people are willing to go to believe a story they want to be true.

A decade in the making, the project gained additional traction following the release of the hit podcast Wild Boys, produced by Campside.

WILD BOYS: STRANGERS IN TOWN is produced by See It Now Studios, Candle True Stories, Vox Media Studios, Campside Media and Endless Eye and is directed and executive produced by Jeremiah Hammerling and Rita Baghdadi. James Goldston and Max Heckman serve as executive producers for Candle True Stories, with Adam Hoff and Matthew Shaer executive producing for Campside Media, and Dana J. Olkkonen, Marina Stadler and Arun Gulati for Vox Media Studios. For See It Now Studios, Susan Zirinsky and Terence Wrong are executive producers, with Aysu Saliba and Cara Tortora serving as supervising producers. Trent Johnson serves as Producer.
