Syndicate

Syndicate is an animated television series produced for KM TV from 2023-2027. It is the culmination of a series of interconnected shows, featuring characters introduced in Squad Æ, Project Jeptha and Bandit Territory along with new characters. After having faced smaller threats in their own series, a ragtag group of losers are forced to unite against a conspiracy in the strange city of Elysium. The show draws on science fantasy elements (nonhuman species, theoretical technology, deities and magic) in a retrofuturistic setting reminiscent of the raygun gothic aesthetic. The general format of each season follows an overarching storyline with occasional self-contained plots.

Synopsis
In 2012, Jeptha crash-landed in New City, Oregon, shortly before Mayor Kingman went mad and enclosed the city in an impenetrable barrier. Jeptha played integral roles in forming a resistance and eventually discovered the mayor was being brainwashed by his assistant, Lote. Although Jeptha freed the city, Kingman ultimately died as a scapegoat for Lote, who managed to escape.

In 2023, Jeptha is in Elysium on a lead from Collector, who discovered where Lote was hiding. Jeptha's friends from New City gave up the hunt years ago after all their leads went dead. When the two close in, however, they instead find the corpse of Æ, mayor of Elysium, and are framed for his murder. Instead of being helpful, Mage is peer pressured by Web and their lackey, Saint, into attacking the precinct and busting them out.

Season one
Jeptha, Collector, Mage, Web, and Saint spend the majority of the season as fugitives and find themselves relentlessly pursued by Kizal, an insubordinate detective who is given one last chance to redeem himself. They are caught up in a conspiracy by a transhumanism movement called Excel, whose goal is to slander and purge the nonhuman populace. Lote is also collaborating with the group as a means to an end.
