### Scavengers Reign Canceled: Fans Express Outrage as Popular Sci-Fi Series Ends After One Season

In a shocking move, Netflix has decided not to renew the critically acclaimed animated series "Scavengers Reign" for a second season. Co-creator Joe Bennett confirmed the disheartening news on Instagram, much to the dismay of the show's devoted fanbase.

"Scavengers Reign," which originally premiered on Max in October 2023, quickly garnered a cult following for its unique storyline and stunning animation. Despite its subsequent transfer to Netflix and a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score, the series will not be returning for another season.

The plot of "Scavengers Reign" centers around the survivors of a damaged deep space cargo ship stranded on the perilous yet visually enchanting planet Vesta. The narrative follows three distinct groups: Azi and her robot companion Levi, Sam and Ursula, and the solitary Kamen with his telepathic companion, Hollow. Their journeys converge towards the remains of the Demeter 227, offering a riveting sci-fi adventure.

The cancellation comes as a surprise given the show's positive reception and critical praise. The New York Times highlighted it as a "gorgeous, hypnotic space trip," lauding its artistic and narrative quality. Despite these accolades, "Scavengers Reign" reportedly suffered from low viewership, falling short of Netflix’s global top 10 weekly statistics and the daily TV top 10s in major markets like the United Kingdom and the United States.

The series' abrupt end triggered a wave of discontent among fans who took to social media platforms such as Reddit to vent their frustrations. This decision mirrors the fate of another 100% Rotten Tomatoes-rated animated show, "My Dad the Bounty Hunter," also canceled by Netflix.

While fans hope another streamer might revive "Scavengers Reign," its passionate following can take solace in the show's inclusion on lists of must-watch canceled Netflix series. For now, the series remains a prime example of quality content that slipped through the cracks due to viewership metrics.
