Another day, another Netflix cancelation - and let's just say we're all devastated over this one.
Now, Netflix seems to have a bad habit of canceling some of our favorite shows, and no matter how much of a loyal fanbase the series in question garners, it just seems impossible to keep some series around.
Scavengers Reign, a show about a group of people who were left stranded on a "beautiful but dangerous planet" after their deep space freighter was damaged, has been canceled not once, but twice by two different platforms.
The animated sci-fi originally debuted on Max and despite earning itself a very impressive 100% score on Rotten Tomatos' Tomatometer, as well as a solid 96% score on the Popcornmeter, it was dropped by the streamer.
Shortly after, it was picked up by Netflix who were considering making a follow-up series to it and unfortunately, it seems as though it's been axed again.
The announcement was made by the show's creator, Joe Bennett, who took to Instagram to let fans know.
"As of right now, Scavengers Reign is not being renewed for a second season," the lengthy post started. "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."
Bennett continued: "We’ve had to fight tooth and nail every step of the way to get this show made, starting all the way back in 2016 with the Scavengers short film to the release of the first season last year."
The animator went on to state that it was difficult to even get producers to believe in the original project, noting that they had to persevere through "a million and one hurdles."
"But, it got made, thanks especially to so many people who supported it along the way, in big and small ways. I want to thank some of those people, starting with my co-creator Charles Huettner, Chris Prynoski and everyone at @titmouseinc, my home base at @greenstreetpictures, the writers, directors, and so many incredible artists who worked tirelessly on the show, and the folks at Max who were incredible partners to work with."
Regardless of the show's cancelation, the star revealed that this would not be the end for Scavengers Reign.
"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," Bennett added before concluding: "Thanks again to everyone who watched and supported the show."
Naturally, fans were devastated upon hearing the news.
"If this show isn't renewed, it feels like no animated shows can get renewed," wrote one user, while another added: "This show is everything to me. If u [sic] guys ever made a kickstarter or anything to try & start up s2 again I'd be there."
A third also chimed in, writing: "Scavengers Reign was an absolute masterpiece, and a stunning work of art. I have no doubt in my mind another door will open soon. We’re all rooting for you. You’ve got fans for life!"
The first season of Scavengers Reign is still available to watch on Netflix.
