The era of canceling successful shows with glowing reviews is gaining its momentum, and we’re not here for it. With all the drama unfolding around CBS and its brutal decisions to get rid of its best series with the highest ratings, some other networks have seemingly joined this weird trend.
It has recently been announced that Max’s brilliant and perfect-scored sci-fi animated series Scavengers Reign was canceled after the first season premiered back in October of 2023. However, the show seems to have a better perspective after being ditched by Max.
Based on HBO Max’s short 2016 film Scavengers, the animated show follows the crew of a damaged space freighter after they crash on a beautiful, yet very dangerous planet called Vesta. Separated into three groups, the crew explores Vesta’s tricky flora and fauna while trying to make their way back to the spaceship.

On October 19, 2023, the first episodes of the sci-fi animated series Scavengers Reign by directors Joe Bennett and Charles Huettner premiered on Max.
The project grew from the short film Scavengers into a full-blown animated series about the crashed crew of a cargo ship. On a breathtakingly beautiful and carnivorous planet, the characters are forced to adapt to life alongside merciless parasitic organisms.
The great beauty of Scavengers Reign is that under the guise of a survival story, Bennett and Huettner offer an entire world structured like an unpredictable machine. The planet lives a life of its own – so enchanting and eerie that you can watch it endlessly.
The animated series is an unusual and exciting experience. With a minimum of dialogue, it asks a maximum of questions.

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,...
