Scavengers Reign is now available on Netflix, ready to capture a new audience and potentially revive its status as an animated hit!
The series originally premiered on Max in 2023 and quickly became a favorite among animation enthusiasts. Despite its popularity, Warner Bros. Discovery eventually announced that they would not be continuing the series and decided to cancel the project.
However, in a new non-exclusive streaming deal, it was revealed that Scavengers Reign would be making its debut on Netflix, with hopes that the animated series could earn a second season if it proves successful on the new platform.

Scavengers Reign has officially launched on Netflix, aiming to reach new viewers and gain a fresh start. According to Variety, there is interest in potentially renewing the animated series for a second season based on its performance on Netflix.
Fans are rallying to support the series, including acclaimed director Guillermo Del Toro, who has been vocal about his support on social media, recognizing the series’ precarious situation. You can watch Netflix’s trailer celebrating the release of Scavengers Reign below:
Scavengers Reign is an original animated series created by Joseph Bennett and Charles Huettner, which expands on their 2016 short film “Scavengers” for Green Street Pictures and Titmouse, Inc.
Now streaming on Netflix in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Ireland, the series currently consists of 12 episodes. The premise of the series is described as follows:
Scavengers Reign follows the surviving crew of a damaged deep space freighter who are stranded on a beautiful yet unforgiving planet. As they struggle to survive, they begin to uncover the true nature of the planet, all while hoping for rescue or escape.
James Merrill, co-executive producer of Scavengers Reign, hinted at the possibility of more to come in a previous interview with ComicBook last year.
He mentioned, “I do feel like we tried to tell a complete story, not a puzzle box that tries to lure people back. That being said, we do have some big ideas as to what could come next.
I hope that we get to do it because we want to explore what comes next. We only saw a little bit of the planet.”
As Scavengers Reign seeks to establish itself on Netflix, fans are eagerly anticipating whether this move will lead to the continuation of the series and the exploration of its intriguing story in a potential second season.
