Making his directorial debut for US television with the show, Raised by Wolves is a sci-fi version of an inverted fairytale - The Three Little Pigs - with definite horror influences, judging from the trailer.

Raised By Wolves cast
The show's trailer reveals that the fairytale 'Three Little Pigs' has been given a sinister, sci-fi update, with an android called Mother (Swedish actress Amanda Collin) who may yet prove to be the Big Bad Wolf from the cautionary tale she tells the orphaned human children in her care.
According to EW, Mother is built specifically to help humanity find a fresh start, by raising human children on a virgin planet.
However, she and another android surrogate are threatened by the arrival of a human stranger (played by Vikings star Travis Fimmel) who challenges the children's naivety and worldview.
The official show synopsis reads: "Mother was programmed to protect everyone after Earth had been destroyed. When the big bad wolf shows up, she is the one we must trust."
Ridley Scott directs the first two episodes, while the scripts were penned Aaron Guzikowski, who wrote the 2013 Jake Gyllenhaal and Hugh Jackman movie Prisoners.
