Scavengers Reign (2023)

Scavengers Reign (2023) is an animated, character-driven adventure that follows the remaining crew of a damaged interstellar freighter stranded on a gorgeous but deadly alien world. Created by Joseph Bennett and Charles Huettner, the series tracks the survivors as they search for their downed ship and missing crewmates while confronting a planet that has been allowed to evolve without human interference—lush, strange ecosystems that are at once beautiful and hostile. Watching Scavengers Reign, you’ll experience a slow-burning, immersive blend of wonder and dread: striking, often painterly visuals of alien landscapes, careful worldbuilding, and tense survival drama. The show emphasizes mood and atmosphere—haunting sound design, vivid creature and plant life, and intimate, character-focused storytelling—so expect emotionally charged performances, moral ambiguity, and moments of visceral danger rather than nonstop action. Themes of adaptation, loss, and the fragile persistence of humanity run through the story, making the series as much about internal survival and relationships as about escaping the planet.
