Scavenger’s Reign was a 2023 Max original animated series. The story follows a group of colonial cargo haulers who are forced to abandon their ship and crash on an alien planet. We follow three distinct groups, the first is Sam and Ursula, who have been spending their time trying to get their hauler, the Demeter, to come down from orbit. There is also Azi and her robot, Levi. Finally, we have Kamen, who has been trapped in his escape pod the entire time they have been stranded. After Sam and Ursala bring down the Demeter from Orbit, all of the scattered survivors work to make their way to the ship, where they know an escape shuttle exists and can get them and the sleeping colonists off of the planet. Kamen, who is ultimately responsible for the catastrophe that resulted in them being stranded, is brainwashed by an alien who has telekinetic abilities. He is led by the alien toward the Demeter and is forced to kill a number of animals to satisfy the creature's bloodlust. Sam and Ursala face a long journey to get to the ship and have many close calls with hostile alien creatures. Sam ultimately gets implanted with an alien parasite, which begins to dictate his actions, which makes Ursala weary of him as they approach the ship. Sam chooses to remove the parasite himself, which ultimately ends his life. Azi, having fought the creature that possesses Kamen, loses her robot Levi, who is starting to become sentient due to the strange fungus on the planet. Azi meets three scavengers who she agrees to help get to the ship in exchange for passage off the planet. They end up betraying her, and Azi is found by Ursala tied up by a river close to the Demeter. Trying to make it to the ship before the scavengers steal the last remaining shuttle, the two work to wake the colonist, but the creature possessed by Kamen ruins their plan nearly killing them, but Levi, now infused with plant material saves them freeing Kamen from his hold. Ultimately the lone scavenger leader escapes with the shuttle stranding Ursala, Azi, Kamen and the awoken colonist on the planet.
