Raised by Wolves has had its final howl at the moon.
HBO Max has chosen to cancel the sci-fi series produced by House of Gucci director, Ridley Scott.
“While we are not proceeding with a third season of Raised by Wolves, we are beyond grateful to the stellar cast and crew, our creators Aaron Guzikowski, Ridley Scott, David W. Zucker, and the entire team at Scott Free Productions, for their beautiful artistry and unique ability to immerse fans into the world of Kepler-22b,” the network said in a statement.
Premiering in September 2020, the series marked Scott’s first television directing role in his five-decade career. Set in a future in which the Earth was destroyed in a great war, Raised by Wolves centers around two androids that are tasked with raising human children on the exoplanet Kepler-22b. Religious differences threaten to divide the human colony, with the androids soon learning just how difficult it can be to control people’s beliefs.
The series was renewed for a second season shortly after its debut, with both seasons being warmly received by critics. However, structural changes at WarnerMedia, which owns HBO Max, have resulted in the cancellation of several shows.
It is possible that another platform may pick up Raised by Wolves for a third season, with Abubaker Salim, who plays Father, encouraging fans of the series to be as vocal as they can to help make it happen.
