New 'Raised By Wolves' trailer reveals more about Ridley Scott's atheist space androids

We now have more details about Ridley Scott's upcoming sci-fi series Raised By Wolves, and it seems as though he's tackling religious themes once again. Hopefully it turns out better than Exodus: Gods and Kings.

A new trailer released by HBO Max on Monday details exactly what threat androids Mother (Amanda Collin) and Father (Abubakar Salim) are protecting their colony of kids from: other humans. More specifically, humans who believe it's a sin to let androids raise human children.

"It was belief in the unreal that destroyed the Earth," Mother tells her wards, having apparently been given a specific directive to raise the children as atheists. "Should the Mythrake's ark ever make it here, you will not listen to them."

Whether the children will listen is another matter altogether. After all, kids aren't exactly known for their obedience.

Raised By Wolves premieres on HBO Max September 3.
