Overview
Raised by Wolves is a British television sitcom written by Caitlin Moran and her sister Caroline Moran, first broadcast between 2013 and 2016. It follows a loose account of the siblings' youth in Wolverhampton, transposed to the modern day. Helen Monks and Alexa Davies star as the oldest sisters in a large family raised by an unconventional single mother.
Broadcast history
A pilot episode was developed by the BBC and broadcast on Channel 4 on 23 December 2013, and the show was subsequently ordered to series. A six-part series began broadcasting on Channel 4 on 16 March 2015. The first series attracted an average of 1.3 million viewers and 6.3% share of audience per episode, making it Channel 4's second highest-rating comedy of 2015. A second six-part series was filmed in late 2015, which began broadcasting on 2 March 2016. The show was cancelled on 9 August 2016 due to Channel 4's "commitments to new programmes" for the following year.
On 18 October 2016, the Moran sisters launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise money to make a third series of the show. The plan was to make a special one-off episode if the campaign received £320,000 by 20 November 2016; or to make a third series (to be premiered in late 2017) if more than £320,000 was donated. The campaign was unsuccessful and plans for a third series were cancelled.
