The TV industry is ‘a huge basket full of balls’, says Ridley Scott

Recently, Ridley Scott was involved in a television series: Criado por Lobos, a Max series that had two seasons

Director known for films such as Alien, the 8th Passenger (1979), Gladiator (2000), Blade Runner – The Android Hunter (1982) and Lost on Mars (2015), Ridley Scott made some criticisms of the television industry, and described it as “a huge basket full of balls.”

It’s worth remembering how the filmmaker’s most recent television project was Raised by Wolveswhich had two seasons on Max and it starred Amanda Colin, Abubakar Salim and Travis Fimmel. During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Scott talked about what it’s like to work on TV.

“TV is a huge basket full of balls. Every now and then something like The Sopranos and game of Thrones which influences everyone, who then runs to that dance to copy it and it’s too late,” he said. “That’s how I act as a director – what’s the next dance?”

Furthermore, Clayton Kruegerpresident of the production company’s television division Freefrom Ridley Scotttalked about the cancellation of Raised by Wolveswhich was planned to release more than two seasons.

It was deeply frustrating. We were really positioned creatively to begin with. We had broken the season, we had the team together. We feel like the show has really found its footing.
