Scavengers Reign Still Not Renewed But Creators Are Ready For Season 2

The absolute masterpiece called Scavengers Reign was cancelled after one season in May 2024, and of course, fans still hope that the show will continue. It appears that they are not alone, as the series creators also want a second season and are ready to get to work on it. Created by Joseph Bennett and Charles Huettner for Max, Scavengers Reign is an adaptation of their 2016 short film Scavengers and was announced in June 2022. Later, on October 19, 2023, the sci-fi series premiered.

With Scavengers Reign still not moving forward, co-creator Bennett took to Instagram with a sneak peek of Season 2 alongside a lengthy message voicing his thoughts and appreciating everyone involved in the series’ success. The EP began:

“As of right now, Scavengers Reign is not being renewed for a second season. I wanted to let everyone know directly because I really love our fanbase, they've been such champions for the show, and I don't want to leave everyone hanging.”

Since creating Scavengers Reign, Bennett and the team have “had to fight tooth and nail every step of the way,” but thanks to their belief and perseverance, as well as people’s support, it was a success. The creator further expressed gratitude to the team, including co-creator Huettner, EP Chris Prynoski, the production companies Titmouse, Inc. and Green Street Pictures, the writers, directors, artists, and those at Max “who were incredible partners to work with.” Despite the cancellation, Bennett believes that’s not the end of Scavengers Reign, as he added:

“This is not the end. There is more story to be told, we are ready to make another season, and we produced in-house at Green Street a teaser for what was going to come in the second season.”
