Raised by Wolves (American TV series) Ends.

Back in November 2020, I started the Raised by Wolves journey. It was peak COVID, so I was catching up on literally anything. There was a TV shortage, so the Aaron Guzikowski HBO Max series commenced back on September 3, 2020.

The second season premiered on February 3, 2022, however now that TV is back to normal, Disney+ is serving up hit after hit etc, I was behind, so I sat on the second and final series. It was cancelled after two seasons back in June, so I knew the androids, Father and Mother were coming to a complete close.

In the series finale, titled Happiness which aired back on St Patricks Day (March 17) this year here is what went down. SPOILER ALERT - below the trailer!


Mother uses Grandmother's veil to block out her emotional attachment to No. 7 (the serpent). 

Mother kills the serpent and chooses to temporarily retain the veil, leaving the children under Grandmother and Father's care. 

Mother discovers that Grandmother intends to devolve this human colony into fish creatures of the sea, as her group of androids did to the previous generation of humans on Kepler-22b. 

Understanding this, Mother becomes emotionally unstable and the veil envelops her and shuts her down. Grandmother uses this opportunity to store her in a hibernation pod. 

Meanwhile, in search of the source of Sol, Marcus tries to return underground but Lucius, influenced by Sol's voice, disables and captures Marcus. Lucius then crucifies Marcus on the tree that shot out from No. 7's dead corpse. Later, Marcus appears floating in the air above the tree, in an inverted crucified state, released from his bonds and with blood dripping from his palms.

Honestly when the eighth and final episode of this series ended I had no idea or no care factor what happened, that the show concluded or why I ended up watching the rather average final second season.

HBO Max tried with some high end sci-fi mixed with big name Ridley Scott, however like Westworld I think the cost of the series was just to great compared to the demand or interest in the show.

If you are keen after reading this, Raised by Wolves streams on Binge in Australia.
