Five films and two seasons of television, and the show sits inside the films rather than beside them.
Release order and story order differ in one place, and the television series is not a side story. It slots into the middle of the film timeline, and its two seasons are about nine in-universe years apart from each other.
Seen some of these already? Tap the circles to tick them off. The full list below fills in as you go.
A small home-invasion film that explains the premise in one card and then stays in one house. It is captioned 2022 on screen and needs nothing before it.
Captioned 2023 and out on the street rather than in a house, which is where the series finds what it is actually about. It introduces the character who carries the next film.
The prequel, showing the original experiment on Staten Island before any of the rest. It works best here rather than first, because it is answering questions the first two raise.
Then what? Election Year follows Anarchy, and The Forever Purge closes the films out. The television series belongs between Anarchy and Election Year, but do not treat it as one block: its two seasons are set roughly nine years apart in-universe, so they bracket rather than sit together. If you want strict chronology instead, start with The First Purge.
A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.
Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.
The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.
Every franchise you have touched, in one code.
Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.
This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.
Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.
Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
Your email is confirmed and your account is ready. Everything you tick is saved on this device, as it always was.
Part of the subscription.
Your SagaList account.
Nothing else happens until you follow the link. If it has not arrived in a few minutes, look in your spam folder and search for SagaList. It is sent from a no-reply address on our own domain, so there is nothing to reply to.
Both addresses get an email: the new one to confirm it, and the old one so that nobody can move your account without you knowing. Nothing changes until you follow the link.
Signing out leaves everything you have ticked on this device exactly where it is. It only stops it syncing.
This removes your account, your email address, and the progress stored on our side. It cannot be undone and we cannot get it back for you.
This stops your subscription too. It is cancelled at Stripe in the same step, so nothing more is charged. The rest of this month is not refunded and you will not be able to use it, so cancel from Manage or cancel and delete later if you would rather keep it.
