In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Scott praised Guzikowski’s skills as a writer, and spoke about the dynamics of their collaboration:

“Aaron is the master builder, and I’m like the house painter. I paint the house and put the nails in. So to go back to the first season, I knew we were developing it, and I’ve had a lot of this over the years, really specifically because of ‘Blade Runner,’ that I thought, okay, yes, a kind of interesting idea, but it’s a tough one to crack because there are so many versions of that idea of robotics, androids, replicants.”

By the time Scott had finished reading the pilot for “Raised by Wolves,” he was hooked. He dubbed the story “a very rare bird,” which prompted him to immediately start the storyboarding process (via The New York Times). Scott’s readiness to get on board is not surprising at all: “Raised by Wolves” paints an extremely complex and well-thought-out picture about androids being in charge of human children, along with the consequences of a race being torn apart by religious differences.

“Raised by Wolves” focuses on two reprogrammed androids, Mother (Amanda Collin) and Father (Abubakar Salim), who take care of surviving human children on the semi-habitable planet of Kepler-22b. The show pits the last survivors of an atheist colony against yet another surviving colony of humans, who constitute a religious faction known as the Mithraic. Unbeknownst to both parties, Kepler-22b is not the kind of planet they were told it would be, as it is home to intelligent life that no one is aware of or have come across prior to the events of the series.
