One of the coolest new sci-fi shows in recent memory, Raised by Wolves is set at a space colony far from Earth after a great war. Two reprogrammed androids tasked with raising the group's children soon find that their mission is much more complex than it first seems.
Peripatetic director Steven Soderbergh is always looking for new ways to make films, so this exclusive-to-HBO joint is just another piece of the puzzle. Zoe Kravitz stars as a young woman in pandemic-plagued Seattle who discovers a massive surveillance state where everything is seen and recorded.
HBO's first Mandarin-language production, Dream Raider made its debut overseas in 2020 but is coming to English streaming this year. In a world where criminals can break into your mind as easily as your house, a mismatched group of scientists and police officers fight back from within the subconscious. This one could be a sleeper hit. Get it? Get it?
