Season 2 of the Ridley Scott-produced Raised by Wolves will premiere on HBO Max in early 2022. Created by Aaron Guzikowski, season 1 of the science-fiction drama premiered via the streaming service on September 3, 2020. Thanks to a slew of generally favorable reviews, Raised by Wolves was swiftly renewed for another season.

Raised by Wolves season 1 starred Amanda Collin, Abubakar Salim, Winta McGrath, Niamh Algar, Travis Fimmel, Jordan Loughran, Felix Jamieson, Ethan Hazzard, Aasiya Shah, Ivy Wong, and Matias Varela. Its story followed two androids, referred to as Mother (Collin) and Father (Salim), who are tasked with raising atheist children on Kepler-22b after the earth was destroyed by a war between a religious faction, the Mithraic, and atheists. Ripe with Biblical allusions and perhaps vague connections to Scott’s Alien and Blade Runner timelines, the slow-burn of season 1 set up an enormous and very different season 2. Filming for season 2 wrapped back in August.

HBO Max’s Raised by Wolves is returning for Season 2 in early 2022 (via Collider). This news comes courtesy of a teaser shown as a “check caught up on season 1” preview ahead of Dune, which launched on the streamer Thursday evening. No official release date or other new details for the upcoming season have been released. Check out the promo below:

A handful of new characters have been cast in Raised by Wolves season 2. Selina Jones will play a god-like android dubbed Grandmother, Peter Christoffersen an atheist soldier, Cleaver, Morgan Santo a rebellious android modeled, Vrille, James Harkness another soldier, Tamerlane, Kim Engelbrecht a prominent and immoral scientist, Decima, and Jennifer Saayeng will play Nerva, the head of an underground network of goods and services. It remains to be seen how these characters and their stories intersect with that of Mother and Father. However, it seems most of them will have arrived in Kepler 22b’s tropical zone.

At the end of Raised by Wolves season 1, Mother’s baby turned out to be a dangerous snake-like being. In an attempt to destroy the mysterious, extraterrestrial creature, Mother and Father flew their space through Kepler 22b’s core, only to emerge on the other side of the planet. An official synopsis for season 2 reads: "android partners Mother and Father, along with their brood of six human children, will join a newly formed atheistic colony in Kepler 22 b’s mysterious tropical zone. Amid navigating the strange society, Mother’s “natural child” ends up threatening to drive away any little remains to human existence." Fans will gave to wait for an official trailer and release date, which should be unveiled sooner rather than later.
