The series, which debuted its first trailer earlier this month, marks Scott’s first foray into television. He co-created the series The Red Road‘s Aaron Guzikowski. The trailer, which you can watch above, offers a glimpse at the new universe that they and their team have created. Raised by Wolves follows two androids, Father (Assassin’s Creed: Origins‘ Abubakar Salim) and Mother (Splitting Up Together‘s Amanda Collin) who are tasked with raising human children on a mysterious new 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.
