The latest trailer for Ridley Scott‘s “Raised by Wolves” teases a holy war that ended life on Earth, and the resulting conflict between the androids raising the next generation of humans and those who want to take the children away.
The trailer shows even more imagery that looks like a mix of Scott’s “Alien” prequels and “Blade Runner,” with vast, desolated planets, and silver color-coded androids. More importantly, the trailer teases the moody tone to what clearly seems like a tension-filled show. Religion seems to be a big theme of the show, with the two androids — dubbed Mother and Father — raising humanity’s last hope as atheists, and a scary group of humans dressed as Crusaders tracking down Mother to take her children away.
More notable is how the trailer shows Mother off as a very dangerous threat to her enemies. She seems genuinely concerned for her children, and very much capable of vaporizing those who want to take her children away, and it seems she can also fly? We don’t know, but sure are excited about this show.
Here’s the official synopsis:
From executive producer Ridley Scott, Raised by Wolves centers on two androids tasked with raising human children on a mysterious virgin planet. As the burgeoning colony of humans threatens to be torn apart by religious differences, the androids learn that controlling the beliefs of humans is a treacherous and difficult task. The highly-anticipated series premiere will debut on September 3rd on HBO Max. Scott directed the first two episodes of the 10-episode series, marking his television series directorial debut for American audiences.
