When he directs a sci-fi television show we can watch in a few short weeks? We damn near froth at the mouth.
Scott is taking his big-screen talent to the small screen for the new HBO Max show Raised by Wolves. The show follows androids who attempt to raise children and restart society on a new planet long after war has destroyed the Earth. There’s a lot more to it, but watch the trailer, see for yourself, and be prepared to get super creeped out by The Three Little Pigs.
Scott directed the first two episodes of the series, marking his American TV directorial debut. There are 10 in total and they’ll debut on the new streaming service September 3. That’s so soon! Hooray for having new content to watch during a pandemic!
Danish actor Amanda Collin plays Mother, the android who is protecting all these children, while Travis Fimmel (Vikings, Warcraft) is Marcus, some kind of soldier. They lead a cast of largely unknowns, which should help add to the believability of this burgeoning sci-fi society.
Oh. And what is Mother peering at in that image at the top of this page? Here’s the full poster.
Disturbing yet intriguing. We’re excited. Raised by Wolves debuts September 3 in the U.S. Stay tuned for news of an Australian release.
