Love, Death, and Robots has been successfully renewed for season 4 by Netflix.
Love, Death & Robots is an animated anthology Netflix series featuring stories from various genres. The series comprises stand-alone episodes from comedy, horror, science fiction, and fantasy. It was created by Tim Miller, who also serves as the showrunner and is a producer along with Joshua Donen, David Fincher, and Jennifer Miller.
The series is actually based on the 1981 animated science fiction film Heavy Metal. The show has three volumes of shorts currently, with the latest one that premiered on May 20, 2022, with nine episodes. The show has received a lot of critical acclaim and here's what you need to know about the future of the show:
Netflix has renewed the 12-time Emmy-winning series for another season. The streamer also announced the big news on social media, exciting the fans. The first volume of the show premiered in 2019 and had 18 episodes. When the second season was announced, fans were surprised to see that there were only eight episodes. There were also delays on account of the pandemic, which led to a long gap in the production of the series. There was speculation that the second volume was split into two parts due to the delays. This was further validated by the fact that the third season was announced before the second season premiered. The third volume has only nine episodes. Perhaps splitting a season into two helped reduce the wait for new content.
Anyway, the show has been praised by viewers and critics alike for the diverse set of well-told stories. The first two volumes have also been nominated for Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards, Golden Reel Awards, and Visual Effects Society Awards.
According to creator Tim Miller, the people behind the show had always felt like this series would not be limited. He said to IGN “Why would we stop doing this as long as they let us continue to do it? I love animation, and I love animators. They’re just kind of a unique breed. It’s a real honor to be able to, as Jennifer said, bring these people the project that they never thought they would get. It’s really like a Santa Claus sort of moment in the best possible way.”
The stories in Love, Death & Robots have been varied and based on previously published short stories by renowned sci-fi writers like Peter F. Hamilton, John Scalzi, Marko Kloos, Neal Asher, and Alan Baxter, among others. We can expect to see high-quality art and stories in the fourth volume as well. It will also belong to the genres of comedy, horror, science fiction, and fantasy. Either the show could go back to releasing 18 episodes at once or break it down into smaller installments. We will have to wait and find out.
Netflix has not set any release date for Love, Death, and Robots season 4. Since most, if not all, episodes are animated, it will take a long time for the episodes to come together. Hence, we'll have to wait for another update from Netflix to learn more about the release and production of season 4.
In the meantime, you can watch seasons 1 to 3 of Love, Death, and Robots on Netflix.
