Scavengers Reign, the most effective sci-fi collection in a very long time, apparently presently is not getting a season 2, and I am not blissful about it.
Final 12 months, HBO launched a really particular little animated sci-fi collection known as Scavengers Reign. It was bizarre, fascinating, and the most effective animated reveals focused at adults I would seen in a longtime. Final 12 months I even wrote about how grownup animation has a shiny future, so long as these in cost let it, however a shift to Netflix introduced uncertainty for the present. Issues are a bit much less sure now sadly, although, as co-creator Joe Bennett took to his private Instagram to share the information that “as of proper now, Scavengers Reign just isn’t being renewed for a second season.”
Bennett continued to elucidate, “I wished to let everybody know instantly as a result of I actually love our fanbase, theyβve been such champions for the present, and I donβt need to depart everybody hanging. Weβve needed to combat tooth and nail each step of the way in which to get this present made, beginning all the way in which again in 2016 with the Scavengers quick movie to the discharge of the primary season final 12 months.”
The Instagram submit, which you’ll try above, comes with just a little teaser exhibiting off what a hypothetical season 2 may appear like, which Bennett explains was produced in-house at Inexperienced Avenue Photos. “This isn’t the tip. There’s extra story to be informed, we’re able to make one other season, and we produced in-house at Inexperienced Avenue a teaser for what was going to return within the second season. Thanks once more to everybody who watched and supported the present.”
I am personally extremely gutted on the information, and actually hope that somebody, someplace does resolve to provide it a minimum of another season, as there actually simply hasn’t been a bit of sci-fi like this in fairly some time.
