The official trailer for Scavengers Reign, Max’s new adult animated series, was released today and can be watched using the player below.
The show debuts with three episodes on Thursday, October 19th at midnight PT, followed by three episodes weekly through November 9th on Max.
In Scavengers Reign, the brainchild of visionary creators Joe 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.
The cast includes Wunmi Mosaku (Azi), Bob Stephenson (Sam), Sunita Mani (Ursula), Ted Travelstead (Kamen) and Alia Shawkat (Levi).
The show is executive produced by Chris Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio, Shannon Prynoski, and Ben Kalina from Titmouse, Joe Bennett, Charles Huettner, as well as co-executive producers Sean Buckelew and James Merrill and Supervising Director Benjy Brooke from Green Street Pictures.
