HBO Max has canceled their sci-fi drama series Raised By Wolves after two seasons. The series debuted in September 2020, with Ridley Scott as an executive producer. It was the top-performing original series on the streaming service during its early run. It centers around androids called Mother and Father tasked with raising human children on Kepler-22b after the demise of Earth. The colony faces disunity due to religious differences that the androids find to be a slippery slope to be involved in. Aaron Guzikowski created the series Raised By Wolves, and Scott directed the first two episodes. This was Scott’s TV credit in the United States. Ridley Scott’s Scott Free Productions produced it. Guzikowski is also an executive producer for the HBO Max sci-fi drama series. One of the leads of the show, Abubakar Salim, alluded to the cancellation after two seasons in a series of tweets.
Two Seasons Concludes The Series’ Story
Salim referenced the Warner Bros. Discovery merger as the cause of the cancellation of the HBO Max sci-fi drama. Mother (Amanda Collin), Father (Abubakar Salim), and their human children join an atheistic colony on Kepler-22b in Season 2. There was more to explore with the androids trying to race humans and helping humanity avoid extinction in the series Raised By Wolves. Salim said there was a delay in announcing the cancellation because there was hope it’d get another season. The HBO Max sci-fi drama series is one of the unfortunate outcomes of the merger despite its positive reviews. Despite its cancellation, the series was able to explore humanity and its interaction with artificial intelligence in a whole new way with just two seasons. HBO Max announced the cancellation but applauded the work by Aaron Guzikowski, Ridley Scott, David W. Zucker, and the Scott Free Productions team in a statement.
The two seasons of Raised By Wolves are available to stream on HBO Max.
