Raised by Wolves S1-2
Award-winning South African actress Kim Engelbrecht (Reyka, The Flash) joins the cast of the HBO Max sci-fi drama series Raised by Wolves in Season 2.
Once again filmed in Cape Town, Season 2 sees android partners Mother (Amanda Collin) and Father (Abubakar Salim), along with their brood of six human children, join a newly formed atheistic colony in Kepler 22 b’s mysterious tropical zone. But navigating this strange new society is only the start of their troubles as Mother’s “natural child” threatens to drive what little remains of the human race to extinction.
Season 1 was one of Showmax’s 10 Most-Watched of 2021 and was nominated for three Critics’ Choice Super Awards. Inverse called Raised by Wolves “Ridley Scott’s best sci-fi since Alien.”
