Scavengers Reign animates the horror of a sci-fi habitat pushing back against humanity.

Like a safari from hell, the new Max animated series Scavengers Reign zooms in on nature’s most grotesque biorhythms, vividly imagining what an alien version might look like. Take one seemingly innocuous plant: It pricks and infects a character’s arm before the show jumps into a rendering of its complete life cycle. A deerlike mammal slowly dies from the poison, then explodes into corrosive acid, killing a whole herd while seeding more of the plant that killed them. In Scavengers Reign, humans stumble onto things they don’t understand and pay a heavy toll for their intrusions on a natural world.
