After their deep-space freighter is damaged, the stranded crew of the Demeter must fight to survive on a beautiful yet dangerous planet. In this surreal sci-fi animated series from creators Joseph Bennett and Charles Huettner, the remaining crew of a damaged interstellar freighter ship find themselves stranded on a beautiful yet unforgiving alien planet – where they must survive long enough to escape or be rescued. But as the survivors struggle to locate their downed ship and missing crewmates, their new home reveals a hostile world allowed to thrive without human interference. Featuring lush, visually stunning animation, Scavengers Reign presents a wholly unique view of the consequences of unchecked hubris and humanity’s eternal desire to conquer the unknown.

    Woah, that looks like it could be really good. Hadn’t heard of it before, but I’ll definitely check it out.

    Edit: I didn’t realize it was a short film before HBO made it into a show! It looks weird and awesome, which is definitely a style of sci-fi that I like.

      Watch their short pilot that’s on YouTube. It’s mindblowing and so fricking weird.

      I already love it.

    Man there is like no info on this show. It’s existence seems as esoteric and enigmatic as the very premise itself.

    It feels like a fever trip made real, and I looked into the animators and they do such great morph and absurd art.

    Heck just the deep overarching symbolism in the pilot they did which almost has a singular point to make wrapped in layers of absurdity. Ugh. Can’t wait.
