Looking to watch something really bittersweet? The co-creator of the absolutely incredible sci-fi cartoon Scavengers Reign dropped a trailer for the second season, just after Netflix decided it would not fund a renewal. Its a full minute of new footage, complete with bloodthirsty plants, bat-monkey hybrid creatures and all kinds of psychedelic sci-fi madness. The teaser was produced in-house, using the production companys own money. Co-creator Joe Bennett wrote on Instagram that this is not the end. There is more story to be told, we are ready to make another season. However, he also added that as of right now, Scavengers Reign is not being renewed for a second season. The show has had a rocky road, premiering on Max a couple of years back before being canceled. The critically-acclaimed first season eventually ended up on Netflix, where it attracted new viewers. The so-called Netflix bump made fans excited for a renewal, but that wasnt in the cards. Theres still a chance that buzz generated from this trailer could entice another streamer to invest in the show. Apple TV+ sure has a lot of sci-fi shows, so why not add one more? Someone get Tim Cook on the horn. If youve never watched Scavengers Reign, its on Netflix right now. This is one of the best sci-fi shows ever made, animated or not. Its seriously so, so good. If you have any interest in classic sci-fi or gorgeous animation, thisll be your jam. Its been called a Moebius comic brought to life and a gorgeous, hypnotic space trip. The show follows a group of survivors spread across an alien planet after a wreck. They encounter some of the trippiest things ever conceived as they struggle to stay alive and find rescue. Its like a 1950s sci-fi novel come to life but, well, mixed with an acid trip. The voice cast includes Alia Shawkat, from Arrested Development and Search Party, and Wunmi Mosaku from Loki, among others. There are 12 episodes in the first season, which makes for a nice binge or two. Just saying.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/tv-movies/heres-a-cool-trailer-for-scavengers-reign-season-two-which-will-likely-never-happen-171637717.html?src=rss

Amazon has started making deliveries via drone in parts of Phoenix, according to reporting by TechCrunch. We knew this was coming and now its here. Customers in the West Valley Phoenix Metro area should now have access to a selection of products that will arrive at doorsteps via the friendly skies. These include household, office, health and beauty supplies, among others. Phoenix residents will be able to click on a drone delivery icon before checking out. The company promises that items will be delivered within an hour. This is due to the improved specs of the companys latest drone, the MK30, which was recently approved by the Federal Aviation Administration to fly beyond the visual line of sight. There are some caveats. Products must be five pounds or less to be eligible, though Amazon says that around 50,000 items are already available for drone deliveries. Also, the drones will only make deliveries during daylight hours and favorable weather conditions. Currently we do not offer drone delivery at night, during heavy winds, or during heavy rain, the company wrote in a blog post. This is happening just a few months after Amazon ended its drone-based delivery program, Prime Air, in California. The company still makes drone deliveries in Texas and it's planning a major expansion into Europe.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/transportation/amazon-begins-drone-delivers-to-phoenix-provided-the-weather-is-favorable-162241367.html?src=rss

Black Friday may still be weeks away, but if you were hoping to score a deal on Samsungs Music Frame, theres no need to wait until Thanksgiving. Both Amazon and Samsung are currently selling the speaker for under $250. At $150 off its regular price, thats an all-time low for the Music Frame, which will usually set you back $400. Considering Samsung only released the device earlier this year, this is a great opportunity to pick up one (or even two) for your home theater. If youre unfamiliar with the Music Frame, think of it as the speaker equivalent to Samsungs popular Frame TV. Like its television counterpart, the Music Frame doubles as a piece of home decor. And while theres no display that will automatically cycle through digital artwork, you can manually insert prints and photos. Moreover, while its certainly possible to pair two Music Frames with a Frame TV, its not limited to home theater use. The Music Frame works just fine as a standalone Wi-Fi and Bluetooth speaker. You can even use it as a smart home hub. Its possible to mount the Music Frame on a wall or on a table, with the help of a built-in stand, if you prefer. As for sound quality, Engadget senior reporter and resident audio geek Billy Steele was surprised by how good the Music Frame sounded when he got to demo it at CES earlier this year. I was shocked by how robust and clear the overall sound quality is coming from the speaker, he wrote at the time. Highs and mids are adequately represented with great detail, while the bass is more restrained. If youre curious, the Music Frame features two rear-facing woofers complemented by a set of two tweeters and two mid-range drivers, all four of which fire from the front of the speaker. It also offers Dolby Atmos support, and Samsung has included its SpaceFit tech, which assists with room calibration. All told, the Music Frame is a great option for those looking for a speaker that will disappear into their home decor, but its high price can make it unappealing, especially if you want a stereo pair. At $150 off, however, its much easier to recommend, even if youre on a budget. Check out all of the latest Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals here.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/audio/speakers/the-samsung-music-frame-speaker-is-150-off-ahead-of-black-friday-160759732.html?src=rss
