In this episode of Rewind, Tony revisits the ambitious sci‑fi series Raised by Wolves, a haunting tale of two androids — Mother and Father — tasked with raising human children on the distant world of Kepler‑22b after Earth collapses under religious war. Though short‑lived, the series carved out a unique space in modern science fiction, blending existential dread with intimate questions about parenting, belief, and what it means to be human.
Tony chats with two of the voices who shaped the show’s soul:
Aaron Guzikowski — series creator
Abubakar Salim — Father, the steadfast caretaker android
Kepler‑22b is more than a setting — it’s a crucible. A barren, mysterious landscape where survival is fragile and belief systems collide.
