HBO Max’s surprise sci-fi epic Raised by Wolves gets a surprise season 2 renewal, even though season 1 isn’t over yet. Androids vs space Crusaders!

Raised by Wolves came pretty much out of nowhere to become a sci-fi hit on HBO Max. A far-flung story about androids raising human children on a distant planet after Earth is devastated by a religious war, the show comes from Alien and Blade Runner director Ridley Scott, and has some seriously heady ideas on its mind about religion, artificial intelligence, humanity and everything.

Like a lot of streaming services, HBO Max isn’t generous with viewership statistics, but people must be tuning in, because Raised by Wolves has just been renewed for a second season!

Raised by Wolves still has a bit of ground to cover before it wraps up its first season: two more episodes drop today, with another following a week later. Honestly, this kind of scheduling is usually used for a show the network doesn’t want people to focus on — we hadn’t heard much about Raised by Wolves before it debuted earlier this month, and the new episodes have been coming out a few at a time, as if HBO Max wants to burn through them quickly — but like I said, someone must be watching if they’re confident enough to renew the thing.

Any Raised by Wolves fans out there? Are you enjoying the first season, and what would you want from a second?

Next. The Mandalorian should win Outstanding Drama Series at the Emmys…but it probably won’t. dark
