The Scavengers are on a mission in the year 3000

Imagine what the Earth will look like in the year 3000...Now, think about what it would look like if no humans lived on the planet we call home for 1,000 years...What would happen to the plants, the animals, the environment?

Tune in to The Scavengers on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player weekdays at 4.05pm where we will join Arrow (13) along with his sister Starla (15) and best-bud robot ARG, on their mission to answer all those questions.

The Skelligs look a lot different in the future!

Here's the story

A Scavenger crew are the first (and only) humans to live on earth in a thousand years. Together, they brave missions from their family's secluded base on Skellig Michael, venturing out into a landscape that holds far more questions than answers.

Along the way, they uncover traces of human history and hints about the fate of their legendary grandfather, Daideo, who led the first crew to return to earth before mysteriously vanishing without a trace.

The show launches during Science Week 2024 and it is full of big questions for the crew to solve and figure out.
