The story of “The Last Ranger” was born from the chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic, creator Daryl Spivey said.

He shared his inspiration for the series: “During the COVID lockdowns, I found myself surrounded by the eerie emptiness of a city that once buzzed with life. The isolation of an empty Times Square made me wonder—what would happen if our society collapsed slowly from within rather than through sudden, or more violent external forces and what emerges from that chaos is a ‘trust no one’ state of existence.

The Last Ranger explores the idea of the United States fracturing into territories driven by selfishness and greed. It’s about the struggle for self-survival versus group survival, but at its heart, it’s a story of hope—how chaos can ultimately lead back to the formation of a just and unified society.”
