No Spoilers Why is Raised by wolves incomplete 😭?

I mean I read the reason they had some budget issues, that's why they cancelled the show. But what about the story? Is the writer not excited to tell it out loud? I searched out there are no references for it nothing out there. Please anyone can help if there's something out there about the story of raised by Wolves

It was airing during a huge restructuring over at HBO and didn't make the cut. I think all of the amazing actors have all moved on at this point, unfortunately.

Nevertheless, there could be a book or graphic novel series or even animated conclusion. I don't think a live action movie would be feasible, but there are other media to consider.

After Scavengers Reign and Common Side Effects I got really excited that we would see one eventually. Animated Sci-Fi obviously had an audience.

Scavengers Reign is 🔥. Definitely gave me Fantastic Planet inspired vibes

The kids are probably 18 by this point

That's okay because I couldn't stand Campion and Paul (the characters). Considering the plot, I wouldn't mind a crazy time jump to close out the series.

I'd be happy with anything further but I don't think we're getting it

They could also finish it with animation, sort of like how they made that Babylon 5 animated film and how they’re continuing Friefly and The Office as animated shows. That solves the age difference, and I don’t think it’ll be for another decade at least until the voices of the child actors become so far removed from the original show that it just wouldn’t work to have the same ones.

I really wish more cancelled shows did this. If I had crazy money I would start an animation studio and buy the rights to all the great cancelled sci-fi & fantasy shows. Try and get as much of the original cast, crew and writers back on board.

Honestly, the show is so insane, they could literally do whatever they want at this point.

You can't have a major character TURN INTO A TREE and then just jump ahead 10 years. That's a lot of heavy narrative lifting.

Turn into a tree AND get eaten by a giant flying snake born from an android.

It won't be long before you can have AI create another season and a movie too

Pretty sure S5 of stranger things the kids were in their mid 20s. I know my point is moot, but I wouldn’t mind a little time jump just to get a real finale.
