Raised by Wolves is a British comedy television series. A pilot episode was developed by the BBC and broadcast on Channel 4 on 23 December 2013, and was subsequently ordered to series. It is written by Caitlin Moran and her sister Caroline, and follows a loose account of the siblings' youth in Wolverhampton, transposed to the modern day. The show stars Helen Monks and Alexa Davies as the oldest sisters in a large family raised by an unconventional single mother. A six-part series began broadcasting on Channel 4 on 16 March 2015.[1]

Raised by Wolves received mixed reviews. Christopher Stevens of the Daily Mail said: "Smug, self-important, clichéd... this sitcom's a real howler."[2] The Daily Telegraph called it "refreshingly honest",[3] while the independent said it "makes for an enjoyable trip down memory lane".[4] The Guardian, to which Moran is a frequent contributor, also praised the show.[5]
