Love Death + Robots, the adult-oriented animated anthology series from Tim Miller and David Fincher, is set to return for its second season next month. While we knew a second season was in production, we didn't know when it would be coming. Netflix surprised us all by announcing its release date and debuting the first trailer as well.
The intriguing trailer for Love Death + Robots Volume 2 teases multiple short stories featuring "naked giants, Christmas demons, and robots-gone-wild." Of course, like the first season, all of these stories are presented through various forms of animation, from CG to traditionally hand-drawn.
The first season of Love Death + Robots was comprised of 18 short stories that spanned the science fiction, fantasy, horror and comedy genres. According to IGN, who spoke with Tim Miller and director Jennifer Yuh Nelson ahead of today's announcement, Netflix and the creative team has taken a different approach for Volume 2 and the now-greenlit Volume 3, which will premiere in 2022. Eight episodes will be released this year, with an additional eight coming next year.
“The first season of LDR was really groundbreaking for a lot of people,” explained Nelson, who joined the series this year as supervising director. “And people saw that and thought, ‘This is possible’; that level of beauty and quality and just subversive stories was possible. As a fan, that's something I've always wanted to do.”
Check out the trailer and poster for Love Death + Robots Volume 2 below and get ready for its premiere on Netflix on May 14.
