'Raised by Wolves', the new HBO Max series created by Aaron Guzikowski and in part directed by Ridley Scott, has stunned audiences with its haunting storytelling, dystopic thrills, and religious allegories.

Here's what you need to know about the next installment of the science fiction series examining faith, humanity, and religious zealotry at the end of the world.

Release Date

There is currently no release date for 'Raised by Wolves' Season 2.

Plot

'Raised by Wolves' is the story of a pair of androids on planet Kepler-22b who were tasked with raising a colony of anti-religious children after a war between atheists and the Mithraic religion destroyed the Earth. After losing most of her children to disease and nearly losing one to an invading Mithraic ship, the android Mother (Amanda Collin) discovers she has the genocidal powers of a Necromancer, taking out most of the Mithraic and kidnapping five of their children to replace the ones she'd lost.

By the season's end, Mother has lost those powers, and a malevolent entity on Kepler-22b has manipulated events to impregnate her with a terrible beast that has stolen her powers. She and Father (Abubakar Salim) are separated from the children, and an atheist ship has shown up, adding more dangers to a planet already occupied by a deadly snake and what remains of the Mithraic survivors.
