A sci-fi anime series that’s gone under the radar arrived on Netflix recently, and the promise of another season has fans rallying across social media.
Fans have been pushing for people to give the show a chance on Twitter, hoping to secure the renewal. “Please watch Scavengers Reign on Netflix today so that we get a Season 2 since HBO’s btchss cancelled it after one season,” reads apopular tweet.
“Need every fan of sci-fi, every fan of animation, every fan of art, every fan of stories, every person ever to please watch Scavengers Reign and see what kinds of incredible things the human imagination is capable of,” saysanother.
Joseph Bennett and Charles Huettner co-created Scavengers Reign, drawing from a short film of theirs, Scavengers. The story follows survivors from a crashed ship, the Demeter 227, who have to survive a remote, alien planet.
At just 12 episodes, the first season stands as a refreshingly creative take on far-fetched sci-fi, the kind of thing that’s harder and harder to do in a landscape so full of established franchises.
