Created by Aaron Guzikowski (The Red Road), with Ridley Scott (Blade Runner) directing the first two episodes and serving as an executive producer, Raised by Wolves is a science fiction drama series that premiered on HBO Max. The deeply philosophical and theological narrative of the show is set in the 22nd century. Earth has been ravaged by a devastating war between militant atheists and a religious order called the Mithraic. Wanting to give humanity a second chance, a scientist sends two androids, Mother and Father, to the planet Kepler-22b with 12 human embryos, but only six children are born. When the remnants of the two warring factions begin to turn up on the semi-colonized planet 12 years later, they find the androids living with just one boy, Campion.
The series premiered on September 3, 2020, and was received positively by both critics and science fiction fans. Episodes of season 2 began streaming on February 3, 2022. In case you are curious about when Raised by Wolves season 3 is coming out, you have come to the right place.
Here’s all the Raised by Wolves season 3 release date information we know so far, and all the details on if it is coming out.
Is there a Raised by Wolves season 3 release date?
There is no Raised by Wolves season 3 release date as the TV series has been canceled by HBO Max.
In June 2022, Raised by Wolves was officially canceled after two seasons. HBO Max subsequently released the following statement:
“While we are not proceeding with a third season of Raised by Wolves, we are beyond grateful to the stellar cast and crew, our creators Aaron Guzikowski, Ridley Scott, David W. Zucker, and the entire team at Scott Free Productions, for their beautiful artistry and unique ability to immerse fans into the world of Kepler-22b.”
The cancellation came as a shock for many fans as well as members of the cast and crew. The ending of the season 2 finale indicated that the story was far from being finished, and Guzikowski said in a February 2022 interview with Collider that he wanted to make five seasons of the show.
British actor Abubakar Salim, who portrays Father in Raised by Wolves, took to Twitter (now known as X) to express his disappointment and speculate that the merger between Discovery and WarnerMedia was a major reason for cancelation. In the same thread, he mentioned that the producers were looking for another home for the series.
The cast includes Amanda Collin (Splitting Up Together) as Mother/Lamia, Abubakar Salim (Jamestown) as Father, Winta McGrath (Doctor Doctor) as Campion, Travis Fimmel (Vikings) as Marcus/Caleb, Niamh Algar (The Virtues) as Sue/Mary, Jordan Loughran (Emerald City) as Tempest, Felix Jamieson (Game of Thrones) as Paul, Selina Jones as Grandmother, James Harkness (Anne Boleyn) as Tamerlane, and more.
Where is Raised by Wolves season 3 coming out?
Raised by Wolves season 3 isn’t confirmed to release on HBO Max. ComingSoon will provide an update if the series is picked up by another network or streaming service.
The official synopsis for Raised by Wolves reads:
“After Earth is ravaged by a great religious war, an atheistic android architect sends two of his creations, Mother and Father, to start a peaceful, godless colony on the planet Kepler-22b. Their treacherous task is jeopardized by the arrival of the Mithraic, a deeply devout religious order of surviving humans.”
