It was over a year ago that we first heard that Sir Ridley Scott was developing new sci-fi content for the TNT network, and now comes word on a Scott-driven series called Raised by Wolves.

Courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter, Scott is on executive producer and director duties for the show, with Aaron Guzikowski having penned the series. The brief early word on Raised by Wolves has it pegged as a sci-fi drama that centres on androids raising human children in a space colony.

On this news, Scott enthused, “I’m always searching for new frontiers in the sci-fi genre and have found a true original in Raised by Wolves – a wholly distinct and imaginative world, full of characters struggling with existential questions. What makes us human? What constitutes a family? And what if we could start over again and erase the mess we’ve made of our planet? Would we survive? Would we do better? Given TNT’s impressive run of bold, quality programming, this feels like exactly the right home for this kind of ambitious television.”

Expect more on Raised by Wolves as it continues to develop.
