11"Raised by Wolves" Ridley Scott Aaron Guzikowski September 3, 2020 (2020-09-03)
In the 22nd century, two androids, Mother and Father, escape an Earth devastated by war between militant atheists and a religious order known as the Mithraic to colonize the planet Kepler-22b. They bring twelve human embryos with them to begin a new peaceful civilization based on atheistic values. The planet has harsh conditions and is covered by large, seemingly bottomless pits. Twelve years later, only one child, Campion, has survived out of six children initially born. Mother starts malfunctioning; in her sleep she sees the war on Earth, and herself flying. As a Mithraic ship arrives in orbit, Father attempts to contact them to take care of Campion; Mother does not approve the plan, and disables Father in a confrontation; Campion sends a signal to the Mithraic. A group of the Mithraic arrive at the colony. After staying a night, they try to disable Mother and take Campion with them; they fail after Mother discovers new abilities and defeats them. Mother goes to the Mithraic ship in orbit; she takes control and sets the ship for collision with the planet; the ship crashes with a huge explosion. Mother returns to Campion with five children that she stole from the ship.

Mother reactivates Father and they try to integrate the five Mithraic children—Tempest, Paul, Hunter, Holly, and Vita—into the colony. Mother is revealed to be a Necromancer, an android built for mass extermination, her powers being stored in her eyes. Campion grows concerned about Mother's behavior and begins questioning her intentions. Mother discovers that Tempest is pregnant, having been raped by a Mithraic priest while they were traveling from Earth. Mother intends to help her carry the child. Mysterious animals attack Tempest at the settlement, but Mother explodes them with her powers. Marcus, a Mithraic soldier who previously survived Mother's attempt on his life and has been hiding since, is also attacked by the animals, but survives and is rescued by other Mithraic survivors. A flashback reveals that Marcus and his wife Sue are imposters; they were atheistic soldiers who killed Paul's real parents and assumed their identities to get passage on the Mithraic evacuation ship.

Desperate to save their son, Paul, from Mother's clutches, Marcus and Sue grow increasingly frustrated with Ambrose's indecision and his refusal to authorize a rescue mission.

Tempest grows increasingly hostile toward Mother over the android's obsessive interest in her pregnancy.

66"Lost Paradise"Sergio Mimica-GezzanDon JohSeptember 17, 2020 (2020-09-17)

When Sue leads a Mithraic assault on the settlement, each of the Mithraic children are forced to reveal their true loyalties, culminating in game-changing consequences for Mother, Father and Campion.

Mother finally gives birth and finds it's not a humanoid but a leech-like flying snake. She is disappointed and acknowledges her pregnancy did not have anything to do with her creator's programming but was caused by infection. Mother and Father discover that there were humans on the planet and suspect that the creatures they have been hunting are "devolved" humans that were somehow introduced to Kepler-22b. A deranged Marcus kills a scouting team of Atheists as an Atheist ship arrives. Father and Mother attempt suicide with the snake-like baby to protect their human children.

Mother uses Grandmother's veil to block out her emotional attachment to No. 7 (the serpent). Mother kills the serpent and chooses to temporarily retain the veil, leaving the children under Grandmother and Father's care. Mother discovers that Grandmother intends to devolve this human colony into fish creatures of the sea, as her group of androids did to the previous generation of humans on Kepler-22b. Understanding this, Mother becomes emotionally unstable and the veil envelops her and shuts her down. Grandmother uses this opportunity to store her in a hibernation pod. Meanwhile, in search of the source of Sol, Marcus tries to return underground but Lucius, influenced by Sol's voice, disables and captures Marcus. Lucius then crucifies Marcus on the tree that shot out from No. 7's dead corpse. Later, Marcus appears floating in the air above the tree, in an inverted crucified state, released from his bonds and with blood dripping from his palms.

On June 3, 2022, Father actor Abubakar Salim confirmed that the series had been cancelled after two seasons, citing the merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery, Inc. into Warner Bros. Discovery as the reason for the cancellation. [8] He additionally announced that Scott Free Productions would be pushing to find the show a new home and asked fans to rally around the cause. Actors Niamh Algar and Winta McGrath also asked for fan support, leading to the development of an ongoing social media campaign dubbed "Save Raised by Wolves". [17] Salim has stated that the campaign has "Inspired the creatives to look for new ways of potentially telling and finishing this story. We will get answers ... Just not in the same way we hoped." [18]

The series was filmed in the Western Cape, specifically Somerset West, Stellenbosch and Cape Town, South Africa.

Reception

For the first season, review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 74% based on 58 critics, with an average rating of 7.1/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "Bristling with imagination and otherworldly imagery, Raised by Wolves is a bloody exploration of artificial intelligence and religious belief that will stimulate the eye and mind—if not the heart." [32] Metacritic gave the series a weighted average score of 64 out of 100 based on 19 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews". [33] Darren Franich of Entertainment Weekly gave the series a B− and wrote a review saying, "I've seen six episodes, and worry that the momentum drags. This is the kind of show where two sides fight, and then spend half a season preparing to fight again. The eccentric performances are intriguing, though." [34] John Anderson of The Wall Street Journal said, "The storyline is involved, but keeps a viewer off-balance in a good way. It looks great. And Mother... is the most memorable female/female-like space entity since Sigourney Weaver's Ripley in Alien ." [35] Writing for RogerEbert.com , Nick Allen gave the series a mixed review, lamenting that, "intellectual exploration of this story ... is incredibly cold" and comparing it to Scott's 2012 film Prometheus . [36]

For the second season, Rotten Tomatoes reported a 86% approval rating with an average rating of 7.9/10, based on 14 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus states, "Raised by Wolves' sophomore season doubles down on everything that made it so beguiling—and sometimes off-putting—in the first place, and the gamble pays off with a science fiction vision that feels wholly its own." [37] Metacritic assigned a score of 84 out of 100 based on 6 critics, indicating "universal acclaim". [38]
