Raised By Wolves

Raised By Wolves is a six-part series written by Caitlin and Caroline Moran. It’s a modern-day reimagining of the brilliant chaos of the Morans’ own childhood. Loads of kids, no money, home-schooled, and educating themselves on a bounty of books, films, TV and pop music. In the first episode, family of six, the Garrys, are taken out into nature (the local common) by their survivalist mother Della (Rebekah Staton) to forage for free food and ‘skill up’. Eldest child Germaine (Helen Monks), in the grip of adolescent hormones, comes up with a psychologically unhealthy way to get closer to the boy of her very delusional dreams, local yob Lee (Kaine Zajaz). Younger sister Yoko (Molly Risker ) reaches a female milestone in the bushes, prompting emergency intervention from Della and threatening Germaine's love scheme. Meanwhile Della's father, Grampy (Philip Jackson), prepares for some afternoon delight with his overbearing wife 'Shit Nan', inadvertently giving Aretha (Alexa Davies) a deeply distressing insight into her grandfather's sex life.
