Scavengers Reign | Official Teaser | Max

After their deep-space freighter is damaged, the stranded crew of the Demeter must fight to survive on a beautiful yet dangerous planet.

In this surreal sci-fi animated series from creators Joseph Bennett and Charles Huettner, the remaining crew of a damaged interstellar freighter ship find themselves stranded on a beautiful yet unforgiving alien planet – where they must survive long enough to escape or be rescued. But as the survivors struggle to locate their downed ship and missing crewmates, their new home reveals a hostile world allowed to thrive without human interference. Featuring lush, visually stunning animation, Scavengers Reign presents a wholly unique view of the consequences of unchecked hubris and humanity’s eternal desire to conquer the unknown.

#ScavengersReign Premieres October 19 on Max.

THIS is the kind of show we need more of

[brycethompson]

We need to be supporting more animated shows like this. The art style, the environment and creature designs, the sounds, it all works so well! It reminds me of another project I saw here on youtube called "Playground" that takes a more surrealist horror approach but I am genuinely so hyped for it!

[urdin]

Just finished season 1. This is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. The art, the writing, the acting, directing, sound production. All of it is peak.

[edsp]

I can't believe so many studios are cutting funding to animation, closing down projects when THIS is the kind of stuff we all want!!! More of this!!!

(Edit: to the people replying, I'm aware max also cancelled projects, I wasn't excluding them when I said "many studios", they are obviously included in that)

[Sophie_Ferris]

Now THIS is a well-done trailer. It spoils essentially zero important plot points but drags you in and makes you interested anyway. I will absolutely be watching! Looks beautiful.

[JoshuaGouzy]

Easily the best and most original animated series in years. The amount of thought and care put into the world-building alone is worth multiple watches. I've never seen anything like it before. Just absolutely phenomenal from start to finish.

[andresuaza]

I LOVE how this project went from a secluded animation group to a mainstream media platform. Well done guys. Would love to hear the story behind this project.

[onepresence]

The animation looks gorgeous and the story seems very promising. We need more unique animated shows like this, Unicorn Warriors Eternal and Fired on Mars on Max.

[emceeunderdogrising]

This is one of the best Sci-Fi shows ever created. In my top 5 shows of all time.

We need more.

[chewface]

Finally! Some REAL quality animation with a serious tone. This stuff usually only exists in very small quantities on YouTube or very obscure art forums. Nice to see it on a mainstream platform with better advertisement and production value. I hope this succeeds.

[Reycied]

Getting very strong Moebius vibes from the art style. I LOVE it.

[uvtones]

Sometimes a show comes along that hooks you in from the jump. I’m glad I went in blind, I didn’t expect this to be as captivating as it was mind melting. Beautifully frightening, looking forward to future projects from the creators!

[carolinemckee]

Okay but can we talk about how EVERY. SINGLE. FRAME. of animation in this trailer is a work of art?!?! Because by GOD this is beautiful

[CODDE]

I remember the original short a few years ago. I never expected to see an actual series. This could be incredible.

[alwive]

This is it! This is the best Sci-fi show in years. I can’t even express how invested I am in this world. I hope this show runs forever, damn even a live action would be supreme

[XelaBH]

Saw this short back in like 2017 when it was just on Vimeo and loved every moment of world building and gorgeous animation. Had no idea this was even in talks to be a series and I'm SO stoked. Max is really bringing animation back after almost killing it and I'm so here for it.

[captainviggo]

Clearly inspired by Moebius and Miyazaki, it feels like a TV show version of the Sable video game which shares the same inspirations. Looks really promising!

[drawingmoo]

Well, I'm riveted. Please please PLEASE keep this up. I cannot describe my level of excitement for this with the style, the story, everything looks With so many studios pulling away from animation for anything but kids' shows, this is spectacular to see.

[lucramichiamo]

THIS LOOKS SO AMAZING.
It has SO MUCH TALENT put into it. I hope this show gets recognised, I think it will truly be an adventure.

[FedericBan-tzcq]

The artstyle looks incredible, love how dreamlike the world seems to be. Many shots reminds me of Moebius' artworks, even for the use of colours. I'll definitely wait for more!
