A trailer and key art for HBO Max and Ridley Scott's RAISED BY WOLVES has huffed and puffed its way online.
Marking Ridley Scott's debut as a director for an American television series, RAISED BY WOLVES centers on two androids tasked with raising human children on a mysterious virgin planet.

Whoa! How have I not heard about this show until this very moment? Visually, this show looks to be ticking several of my boxes, and damn you, Ridley, you must know that I'm a sucker for dark fairy tales. I swear, every time I think that I can get away with not subscribing to HBO Max, they go ahead and drop another must-see film or series in my lap. How dare you, HBO Max. Who's going to pay my cable bill?
