Season 1 followed two androids, Mother (Danish actress Amanda Collin) and Father (Abubakar Salim from Jonestown), tasked with raising human children as atheists on a virgin planet, after Earth had been destroyed in a religious war. The season also introduced Marcus (Vikings\u2019 Ragnar, Travis Fimmel) and Sue (Niamh Algar from Wrath of Man), an atheist couple who took on the identity of Mithraic believers to escape Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Season 2, Mother and Father move their brood of six human children into an atheist community on Kepler-22b\u2019s mysterious tropical zone. But navigating this strange new society is only the start of their troubles as Mother\u2019s \u201cnatural child\u201d threatens to drive what little remains of the human race to extinction\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Season 1 was one of Showmax\u2019s 10 Most-Watched of 2021 and was nominated for three Critics’ Choice Super Awards: Best Science Fiction\/Fantasy Series, Best Actress: Sci-Fi (Collin), and Best Actor: Sci-Fi (Fimmel), as well as Emmy and Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Season 2 has a 100% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Inverse calls Raised by Wolves \u201cRidley Scott’s best sci-fi since Alien\u201d; Decider hails it as “the most exciting sci-fi show since Battlestar Galactica\u201d; and Paste says, \u201cThere is simply nothing like Raised by Wolves on television\u2026 TV\u2019s most uniquely bizarre series remains a glorious sci-fi journey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much of the praise has been for Collin as Mother, a necromancer battle android who can kill with just her scream, but who has been reprogrammed to raise the human children. The Wall Street Journal calls Mother \u201cthe most memorable female\/female-like space entity since Sigourney Weaver’s Ripley in Alien.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But parenting is hard, even without an alien planet and religious fanatics to deal with. \u201cNo one has the answers on how to be a good parent,\u201d Salim told Rotten Tomatoes. \u201cEven with Google in your head, you still have no idea what\u2019s right, and what isn\u2019t\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
