Scavengers Reign Canceled At Max
- Thread starter BWoog
- Start date
I'm just not a fan of long drawn out series that are just meant to go on for as long as they get renewed.
I just recently became aware of the series and thought it was just a nice miniseries with a story that was just meant to be that.
Hearing it is sorta self contained is nice though. Maybe I'll give it a watch eventually.
It was written as a self contained series with a solid conclusion. It has a very light sequel hook, but there's really no reason they need to follow it up.
I personally hope for a second season just cause the world is friggin cool.
I came into the show with zero preconceptions and was blown away. Incredibly imaginative and beautiful.
Bummer. On one hand I think season 1 ends in a way that feels like a satisfying conclusion. On the other hand, it was also left in a way that they could easily do a lot more if they wanted. Hopefully Netflix picks it up or something.
*Raises hand*
It was both!
You should be proud as fuck! You helped create one of the most imaginative sci-fi worlds I have ever been taken to. I hope you get to create more but if not, it was an amazing ride.
ouch, especially after the "its on Netflix" threads I've seen here and reddit where people encourage others to watch it to get a better shot at renewal. Guess that doesn't matter now.
Although maybe it does I guess, its not IP owned by Max afaik so Netflix COULD pick it up maybe? I just don't see that happening though, the show is super weird and a LOT of people are going to bounce sometime in the first episode which is going to hurt netflix metrics hard (they are heavily about completion rates in short windows of time).
I've watched 8 of the episodes on and off for months, only after an edible, and enjoyed it but its a trippy 70s-on-acid vibe for sure.

A conclusion, with a 2 minute scene with one character that could set up more if they wanted.
I want MUCH more Scavengers reign but only because it was incredible and brimming with future potential, not because it felt unfinished/unresolved.
Tells a full story, but definitely left the door open for more. Similar to other sci fi things where the main antagonist and whatnot are dealt with, but you still feel it is just scratching the surface of the setting.
I'm going to watch it again on Netflix with my mate. Hell… I'll even watch the original short film "Scavengers" again on Youtube as many times as it takes to boost it 😂

I really felt this one upon reading it, this is one of my favorite shows in recent years, but, at the same time...I think it really works as a one season show. Definitely think it doesn't need more than 2 or 3 even in a perfect world
yeah I was under assumption it was a "mini-series" or whatever. was honestly surprised it was on Max at all, granted the mess that's been going on there past few years. but if netflix or whoever can do more with it that'd be great
Thank you! I didn't come on until a third-way through the boarding process, but it was such an immensely special project. God knows I'd love to do more if the opportunity arises.
Couldn't even let the rest of the world watch it before cancelling 🫠
Definitely gonna watch it. Is there a blu ray?

It's been on Max for months. There was plenty of opportunity to watch it before it got cancelled.
It has not been in many (all?) European countries. Having Netflix pick it up might allow me to finally watch it.
Max doesn't exist in UK and many big European countries, along with some Asian countries.
Please watch this on Netflix if you have any interest in sci-fi storytelling and/or animated TV.
I'm hoping it does find a new audience there, would fit right into their line-up

Its availability in Canada is frustratingly narrow. Had to sign up for a stacktv sub to watch it legally, it's not on any of the major streamers
I see. Hopefully there's enough of an audience on Netflix to get a second season.
It's only available in *checks notes* 10 countries worldwide, assuming IMDB is correct.
Even countries that do have Max, like the Netherlands, are missing out. For Europe it only seems to be available in France, Italy and Poland. Makes absolutely zero sense.
I really wanted to watch this, and still do, but it isn't available on Max in the Netherlands. :/
I was against the grain with this one because I watched the first two or three episodes and while it was a feast on the eyes I didn't enjoy the storytelling or really anything else at all. Still a shame to see something so creative not make it, but there was no real buzz about it at all so also not surprising
Had a feeling this would happen. HBO gives no fucks.
One of the best animated shows out there imo, just beautifully realized fantasy world building.

I remember liking a lot when it first aired but remembered it only started with 3 episodes? Guess I forgot about it.
I will devour it when it hits netflix tho.
