How to watch Raised by Wolves, the new HBO Max series

Raised By Wolves is a new mini series from Ridley Scott that focuses on two androids raising a human kid on a new planet. The new show debuts on September 3, on the streaming service — and everywhere HBO Max is available. After earth becomes inhabitable, a ship full of humans comes to the new planet, kepler-22b, and things begin to get interesting. It’s been described internally as sort of a Little House on The Prairie, but on another planet. This is exactly the type of mini series you would expect Scott, who was responsible for Blade Runner and Alien, to be a part of for HBO Max.

HBO has traveled down a similar road before with Westworld which also utilized androids in blurring the lines between human and machines. In the new series, however, critics have called out a much more drab and dire mood that stemming from the desolate visuals shown on screen.

Raised By Wolves: where and when

The first three episodes of Raised By Wolves will become available on HBO Max on September 3, 2020. Typically that means that they will show up at midnight in your local time zone. The limited-run show will contain 10 episodes total and new episodes will premiere weekly in subsequent weeks.

Even if critics weren’t floored by the first six episodes they were screened ahead of time, it’s hard to resist the pull of Ridley Scott and others doing a sci-fi show so on brand. With HBO Max’s initial roll out problems with partners, you may not be in a position to see the story however.
