TORONTO — The new HBO Max Original Series from director Ridley Scott, Raised by Wolves, will premiere Thursday, September 3 on Bell Media’s Crave as well as its CTV Sci-Fi channel, Bell Media announced Tuesday.
Bell Media previously announced the 10-episode series was coming to Crave and CTV Sci-Fi this fall, but confirmed today it will debut in Canada on the same day as its U.S. premiere on HBO Max.
