Airdate: Raised by Wolves

UK comedy Raised by Wolves debuts on SBS 2 tomorrow night.

The cult series, based on the Wolverhampton childhoods of Caitlin Moran and Caroline Moran, follows six socially-isolated, home-schooled siblings and their acerbic, highly capable mother Della Garry.

SBS will air both first and second seasons, totalling 12 episodes, back to back, beginning with a double episode.

This premiered in the UK in March 2015.

Eldest sibling Germaine, 16, is idiosyncratic, distressingly overshares and is deludedly in love with local yob, Lee. Aretha, 15, an introverted, sarcastic George Orwell admirer, just wants to be left alone to endure her adolescence. Thirteen-year-old Yoko is a dreamy aspiring paleontologist with a heavy dose of ‘the Force’. Along with ‘the babbies’, Wyatt, Mariah and toddler Cher, the family also share their small council house with Della’s feckless, acid casualty dad, Grampy: a frequent refugee from his ongoing bad romance with ‘Shit Nan’.

In her frenzied pursuit of Lee, Germaine drags her family reluctantly out into the world, going underage clubbing, dabbling in voyeurism, taking the law into their own hands and dealing with major life milestones in their characteristic highly inappropriate way.

Episode One: Hand Jam
Della takes the kids out foraging. Yoko has a truly terrible day. Aretha has an experience she’ll never forget and Germaine finds a borderline-illegal way to get closer to Lee.

Episode Two: Yoko’s Got Talent
Germaine’s underwear situation prompts emergency intervention from Della.

Tuesday, 13 September at 9.25pm on SBS 2.
