}}'''Guard Duty: Season 1''' is the first major installment in the ''[[Guard Duty]]'' series, airing since December 22, 2023. Set on the seemingly pointless [[Outpost Black Out]], ''Season 1'' introduces soldier [[Geff Rodrigo]] as he tries to stay positive despite his growing disillusionment with his role in the [[UNSC]] and his fellow soldiers stationed at the same outpost.
}}'''Season 1''', also called '''Season One''', is the first season of ''[[Guard Duty]]'' post-relaunch, airing from December 22, 2023 until August 19, 2024. It was directed by [[Syp The Mighty]] from a screenplay she wrote with [[Revoltge]], focusing on the day-to-day lives of the dysfunctional soldiers stationed on [[Outpost Black Out]]. At the same time, their [[SAFE Program|HQ]] investigates attacks on its [[Outpost High Ground|other]] [[Outpost Pit Fall|outposts]] by [[The Damned|alien space pirates]] while a [[Emery Eden|mysterious soldier]] seeks out [[Geff Rodrigo]] on the outpost as part of a larger plan.


It is a restart of the series as a whole, with prior episodes now being considered the ''Classic'' continuity.
This season is an expanded remake of ''[[Classic Season 1]]'', incorporating elements of ''[[WarGames]]'' and ''[[Classic Season 2]]'' as a reboot of ''[[Guard Duty#Classic|Classic]]'' altogether. Its ''[[At The Movies]]'' re-release premiered on October 25, 2024, just over two months after it aired. A direct sequel season, titled ''Guard Duty: Echoes'', is planned to enter production in 2025 after production wraps on ''[[Rat's Nest]]''.

*After the first five episodes were released, the remainder of this season was delayed due to Syp having to reinstall her computer's operating system which led to her losing her original editing software. As a result, she took the time to learn ''Adobe Premiere Pro'' for ''[[Machine]]'' and ''[[Replacement]]'' before placing the series on an unplanned hiatus due to the complicated nature of subsequent episodes.
**The delay also gave time for composer Cole Vakassian to compose additional tracks for the season, including rearrangements of the tunes composed by Revoltge and Syp for ''[[Classic Season 2]]''.

*Syp's influences for this season include the animated series ''Archer'' and ''Harley Quinn'', sitcoms ''Parks & Recreation'' and ''Always Sunny in Philadelphia'', and the 2021 film ''The Suicide Squad''.

*When first announced in ''[[Coming Soon]]'', Syp stated this season and [[Classic Season 1|its ''Classic'' counterpart]] would be "simultaneously canon". However, this is proven untrue in the actual season as it actively contradicts that season as well as ''[[WarGames]]'' and ''[[Classic Season 2]]''. Instead, ''Season 1'' acts as a reset to the series continuity as a fresh start that combines elements of the entire ''Classic'' series as a singular narrative.

Season 1, also called Season One, is the first season of Guard Duty post-relaunch, airing from December 22, 2023 until August 19, 2024. It was directed by Syp The Mighty from a screenplay she wrote with Revoltge, focusing on the day-to-day lives of the dysfunctional soldiers stationed on Outpost Black Out. At the same time, their HQ investigates attacks on its other outposts by alien space pirates while a mysterious soldier seeks out Geff Rodrigo on the outpost as part of a larger plan.

This season is an expanded remake of Classic Season 1, incorporating elements of WarGames and Classic Season 2 as a reboot of Classic altogether. Its At The Movies re-release premiered on October 25, 2024, just over two months after it aired. A direct sequel season, titled Guard Duty: Echoes, is planned to enter production in 2025 after production wraps on Rat's Nest.
