Scavengers Reign is an upcoming animated series, scheduled to be released on HBO Max on October 19, 2023. The series has been inspired by the art style of French comic legend, Jean "Moebius" Giraud, whose surreal aesthetic may be seen in animation and video games.

The art serves as the beginning point for one of the most inventive and utterly realistic alien worlds ever seen in the upcoming series, Scavengers Reign, on Max. It's equally stunning and horrific, and it might be the most inventive work science fiction viewers get to watch this year.

The sci-fi animated series is scheduled to premiere on HBO Max on October 19, 2023, and follows the survivors of a wrecked deep space freighter as they become stranded on a perilous and unfriendly planet. The animated series has been directed by Charles Huettner and Joe Bennett.
