HBO Max cancels Raised by Wolves

“While we are not proceeding with a third season of Raised by Wolves, we are beyond grateful to the stellar cast and crew, our creators Aaron Guzikowski, Ridley Scott, David W Zucker, and the entire team at Scott Free Productions, for their beautiful artistry and unique ability to immerse fans into the world of Kepler-22b,” HBO Max said in a statement (via The Hollywood Reporter).

The discontinuation of the show comes as a result of WarnerMedia and Discovery merging to form Warner Bros Discovery.

Abubakar Salim, who played the robot Father against Amanda Collin’s necromancer Mother, hinted the coming finale of Raised by Wolves yesterday (June 3).

“Call to action #RenewRaisedByWolves,” his Twitter thread began. “It’s not surprising, especially after the news of the mergers and what is happening at Warner, that a lot of shows are not having their stories finished.

“And unfortunately, one of those shows is Raised by Wolves. Nothing has been publicly shared yet. And there is a reason for that. An important one. One which I’m here to share with you now. There is hope.

“You see, we’re in a unique position: we have a fully fleshed out and planned storyline, a Goliath of a production team behind us, incredible reception from critics and reviewers alike, and most crucially, a community base that is so strong internationally, it can not be ignored,” the actor continued.

Things have picked up behind the scenes, but Abubakar’s plea reached a peak when he asked fans to “give it our all” in advocating for the show’s continuation on another network, á la Lucifer.
