In the films to-date we have seen serial killer Mick Taylor (John Jarratt) tear through victims in a variety of different ways but now with his return, he's going from hunter to hunted.
But what do we need to know about Mick? Take a look below and get acquainted with one of the most dangerous men in the Australian outback.
Who is Mick Taylor?
Mick is a dangerous, conniving and nasty man who's sexually obsessed with various forms of torture, rape and murder, especially when it comes to women. Though he does prefer to play predator with females, he'll also kill any men with them and leave them to die.
Not much is known about his background and little is revealed in order to keep Taylor a more mysterious and scary character. Actor Jarratt admits he has created a detailed biography for Taylor, but he hasn't released the info, instead basing his performance on the notes he's made.
Mick's past can also be explored in two prequel novels - Wolf Creek: Origin and Desolation Game - which reveal a little more about how he found his way into the world of killing, deceit and life in the outback.
How does he choose his victims?
Mick chooses his victims based on where they're from. He tends to stay away from natives of Australia, instead focusing on tourists. Once he's found a group he likes the look of, he'll stalk the victims, make their car immobile when they're absent and then later offer help as if he's just wandered upon them. Offering them help, those who accept are drugged and tortured back at Mick's camp, whilst those who refuse help have been murdered on the spot.
Why does he kill?
"You're nothing but foreign vermin, a stinking introduced species. And it's up to my kind to wipe your kind out. And that makes me the winner, which makes you…"
"You expect to come to my f**kin' country, waltz around like you own the bloody place, come between a man and his meal and just walk away? Just like that?"
"I was doing people a service really, by shooting them. There's kangaroos all over the place… Like tourists."
To put it bluntly: He's a crazed racist.
Is there any truth to the Wolf Creek tale?
The show is LOOSELY based on Australian serial killer Ivan Milat, known as 'The Backpack Killer', who killed tourists in the Australian outback during the 1980s and 90s.
Milat is predicted to have killed between 7 and 12 people and has caused controversy during his time in prison. In 2009, he cut off his little finger with a plastic knife and hoped to send it to the High Court, but was instead taken to hospital where doctors decided surgery was not possible.
He also went on hunger strike in 2011 in the hopes of being given a PlayStation, but was unsuccessful.
Milat has been served multiple life sentences to run consecutively without the possibility of parole, meaning he will spend the rest of his days behind bars.
Wolf Creek begins August 30 on FOX UK at 10pm.
