Joseph Bennett and Sean Buckelew dish on creating Max's upcoming animated sci-fi series.
In 2016, Adult Swim aired Scavengers, an eight-minute animated short about a pair of human survivors on a hostile alien world. It wasn’t long before co-directors Joseph Bennett and Charles Huettner and production company Green Street were given the green light to make the short into its own full-fledged show, Scavengers Reign, which will soon air on Max and Adult Swim.
Bennett: All the characters are struggling through some kind of inner turmoil; as you’re exploring the planet, you’re exploring their inner psyche. Some, like Azi, Ursula and Sam, can use the planet like a utility, where they can fashion things on the planet into a tool, while someone like Kamen is just completely lost and vulnerable. io9: To me, Scavengers Reign feels like it’s drawing on video games, particularly The Last of Us with its body horror and idea of a hostile, beautiful world.
