TNT Orders RAISED BY WOLVES to Series

TNT has ordered sci-fi drama RAISED BY WOLVES straight to series, the network announced.

The series, from Aaron Guzikowski and Ridley Scott (the latter of whom will make his television directorial debut with the show), follows “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.”

“I’m always searching for new frontiers in the sci-fi genre and have found a true original in RAISED BY WOLVES—a wholly distinct and imaginative world, full of characters struggling with existential questions: What makes us human? What constitutes a family?  And what if we could start over again and erase the mess we’ve made of our planet?  Would we survive? Would we do better?” said Scott in a statement. “Given TNT’s impressive run of bold, quality programming, this feels like exactly the right home for this kind of ambitious television.”

“Ridley Scott’s movies have always been a part of my life and a huge inspiration in my work,” said Guzikowski. “So getting the opportunity to work with him and TNT on a story that is so near and dear to my heart is truly a dream come true.”
 
“Ridley Scott is simply the best there is in the sci-fi genre,” said Sarah Aubrey, executive vice president of original programming for TNT. “Besides directing some of the most important sci-fi films of all-time, Ridley has created iconic characters from ALIEN’s Ripley to PROMETHEUS’ Elizabeth Shaw. We’re thrilled to have Ridley do the same for us as we look forward to his vision of Aaron’s complex and futuristic Mother. It’s incredibly rare to be able to make television that both challenges one’s intellect and also thrills the excited fangirl side—RAISED BY WOLVES is that rare show that does both.”
