Abubakar Salim plays Father, one of the androids raising the colony. Salim is best-known for his voice/motion-capture role in Assassins’ Creed as Bayek of Siwa, but you might also recognise him from (a very impressive) turn in Sky’s historical drama Jamestown, where he played Pedro.

Amanda Collin plays Mother, the other android helping to raise the human survivors. Collin is a Danish actress best known for films A Horrible Woman (2017) and Department Q: A Conspiracy of Faith (2016), as well as the television series Splitting Up Together (2016).

They’re joined by Travis Fimmel (Vikings), Aasiya Shah (Bloods), Niamh Algar (The Virtues), and Matias Varela (Narcos) amongst others. New cast joining for series two include James Harkness (Gangs of London) and Kim Engelbrecht (The Flash).

Writer and executive producer Aaron Guzikowski serves as showrunner, writing most of the episodes of Raised by Wolves. Guzikowski previously wrote the Denis Villeneuve movie Prisoners and the Jason Momoa television series The Red Road.

Raised by Wolves season 2 preview

Raised by Wolves already managed to cover a whole lot of ground over the course of its first 10 episodes. We met Mother and Father, 2 androids who escaped a dying Earth during a religious war and arrived on planet Kepler-22b to care for a new generation of humans. However, the colony was threatened by religious differences and dangers such as poisonous food or native creatures.

This sci-fi epic is complex and follows multiple characters, so you might want to schedule a re-watch to reacquaint yourself with this world before diving into the new episodes. Or, watch the character recap below.

As a quick reminder, Mother ended up giving birth to a strange, flying snake creature in the season 1 finale. It escaped when the unconventional family crashed in the planet's tropical zone.

When season 2 kicks off, Mother and Father along with their human children join a new atheistic colony. According to the official synopsis, "navigating this strange new society is only the start of their troubles as Mother's 'natural child' threatens to drive what little remains of the human race to extinction". That's just enough tantalising information to make fans come back for more.

The original cast will return for the new episodes. The list includes Amanda Collin as Mother, Abubakar Salim as Father, Travis Fimmel as Marcus, Niamh Algar as Sue and Kim Engelbrecht as Decima. Season 2 also stars Winta McGrath, Jordan Loughran, Matias Varela, Felix Jamieson, Ethan Hazzard, Aasiya Shah, Ivy Wong, Peter Christoffersen, Selina Jones, Morgan Santo, James Harkness and Jennifer Saayeng.

The show looks like it was worth the wait. Buckle up for an exciting ride!
