Scavengers Reign is leaving Netflix at the end of May 2026
The science fiction animated series Scavengers Reign is departing Netflix at the end of May 2026. Created by Joe Bennett and Charles Huettner and produced by animation studio Titmouse (known for The Venture Bros. and The Mighty Nein), the HBO series debuted in 2023 with 12 episodes that explores an alien ecosystem on the fictional planet Vesta.
Despite receiving critical acclaim for its distinctive ecological horror elements and imaginative worldbuilding, Scavengers Reign largely flew under the radar during its initial release. The series follows the surviving crew members of an interstellar vessel as they navigate the dangers of Vesta’s unique and nightmarish alien environment. The show has developed a dedicated fanbase over the past three years, with viewers praising its mind-bending brilliance and innovative approach to the science fiction genre.
The series’ worldbuilding rivals other acclaimed science fiction properties like Star Wars and Avatar, but with its own distinctive take on alien ecology and survival horror. Its departure from Netflix represents the end of the streaming platform’s distribution period for the title, following a typical content licensing agreement. Viewers seeking to continue watching the series after May 2026 may need to pursue alternative viewing options.
