HBO Max’s Scavengers Reign, an animated sci-fi series, has been cancelled just months after its premiere on the streamer. Despite garnering positive reviews, the show will not be returning for a second season. Instead, it will be making its way to Netflix in the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and New Zealand on May 31.
Scavengers Reign follows the story of a spaceship, Demeter 227, which crash-lands on the planet Vesta, a hostile and alien world. The survivors, who are led by a diverse group of characters, including Ursula, Azi, Levi, Sam, and Kamen, must band together to survive the treacherous environment and find a way back home. The show’s creators, Joseph Bennett and Charles Huettner, drew inspiration from their 2016 short film Scavengers when developing the series.
