“Scavengers Reign” has been canceled at Max, but all hope is not yet lost for the show.
Beginning on May 31, Season 1 of the animated sci-fi drama will begin streaming on Netflix in the U.S., the U.K., Ireland and New Zealand. The Netflix deal is non-exclusive, meaning the episodes will remain available on Max. Sources tell Variety that Netflix is considering picking up “Scavengers Reign” for a second season, but a decision won’t be made until after Season 1’s debut on the streamer.
The series is set on an alien planet where a damaged interstellar freighter ship gets stranded and follows the remaining crew as they struggle to locate their ship and missing crewmates while navigating a hostile world that has thrived without human interference.
Variety named “Scavengers Reign” one of the top 19 shows of 2023, with critic Alison Herman writing that it “pairs the engrossing ambience of a...

Fans of science fiction have simultaneously seen something similar to Max’s new adult animated series Scavengers Reign and absolutely nothing like it before.
It’s a dichotomy that the show’s creative team leaned into when trying to create a world that houses a group of surviving crewmembers from the Demeter, a deep-space freighter ship damaged by a solar flare and stranded on a beautiful but terrifying planet. Separated and unaware the others have survived, each group — and in some cases a single individual — attempts to navigate and survive the hostile planet in hopes of eventual rescue.
Co-created by Joe Bennett and Charles Huettner, the series, based on their 2016 short Scavengers, has been adapted into a 12-episode series by Green Street Pictures. It’s one of the latest examples of how networks and platforms are not only increasingly interested in animated titles that expand genre representation, but ones that have clear live-action impulses,...

A fixture of the independent animation scene in America, Sean Buckelew is a creator already well known to us at Directors Notes, having followed his career closely since we first featured him on the site. With a number of impressive short films to his name and his involvement in the Glas animation festival it’s hard to understand why it took us so long for a follow-up interview, but we’re excited to have him back on Dn to discuss his short film Drone. A 16-minute short centred on the CIA’s attempts to rebrand a Predator drone after installing it with an ethical AI, the film has already impressed audiences at Annecy, Fantoche, Ottawa and more before coming online. Watch the film and then read our interview with its creator, as we discuss the unusual inspiration behind Drone’s premise, the lack of animation funding in the US and the importance of collaboration.
