HBO Max on Monday revealed a new trailer for Raised by Wolves, the sci-fi streaming series directed by genre giant Ridley Scott (Blade Runner, Alien). 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.

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.
