Scavengers Reign, among the finest sci-fi collection in a very long time, apparently at present is not getting a season 2, and I am not completely happy about it.
Final yr, HBO launched a really particular little animated sci-fi collection known as Scavengers Reign. It was bizarre, charming, and among the finest animated exhibits focused at adults I might seen in a longtime. Final yr I even wrote about how grownup animation has a vivid 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 is just not being renewed for a second season.”
Bennett continued to clarify, “I needed to let everybody know straight as a result of I actually love our fanbase, they’ve been such champions for the present, and I don’t need to go away everybody hanging. We’ve 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 yr.”
The Instagram put up, which you’ll try above, comes with just a little teaser exhibiting off what a hypothetical season 2 may appear to be, which Bennett explains was produced in-house at Inexperienced Avenue Footage. “This isn’t the top. 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 come back 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 determine to provide it at the least another season, as there actually simply hasn’t been a bit of sci-fi like this in fairly some time.
