    Abandoned as an infant in the wild, a young boy is raised by wolves. Discovered in the forests of northern Minnesota at the age of 10, the boy begins the difficult process of learning what it is to be human. Under the tutelage of Dr. Hoagland (John Randolph) at the University Research Center in California, the boy becomes a man (Kevin Brophy) and dubs himself Lucan.

    The mysteries of his past gnaw at him, and Lucan sets out to discover the secrets of his heritage and his true identity. The dangers of civilization far outstrip that of nature, and Lucan must rely on the instincts and abilities he learned while running with his wolf brothers and sisters.

    Slowly gathering clues, Lucan's quest is interrupted by a crime at the research center - a crime for which he is unjustly accused. Now a fugitive, Lucan must stay one step ahead of the lawman (Don Gordon) pursuing him while he still looks for answers. Guest stars include Ned Beatty and Stockard Channing.
This past weekend (March 23-25) in Anaheim, California, the Warner Archive was present at the WonderCon 2018 Anaheim Comic-Con. While they were there, it was announced (including on the WBshop.com online studio store; see button link below) that Lucan - The Complete Series is coming to DVD in just one week from today: April 3rd!!

This short-lived show with a slight sci-fi bent to it aired on the ABC network in 1977-78, and had a pilot telefilm followed by 11 regular hour-long episodes. The Warner Archive will release this DVD set as an MOD (manufacture on demand) title, priced at $29.99 SRP. Here's the cover art:
