A woman lying in a medical treatment facility. A son and daughter giggle as they head downstairs to open Christmas presents. A flying car breaks through the clouds to reveal a futuristic metropolis. A 218-year-old woman walks through a post-apocalyptic wasteland. And a robot that literally eats dog poop.
All that and more are set to arrive with Love Death + Robots Volume 2 on May 14.
That’s all according to the new trailer that Netflix just dropped, which confirms that season 2 of Love Death + Robots will be the same sort of animated anthology as the first season. As fans of the series know, each episode of Love Death + Robots is a self-contained short story that has to do with one of three words in the title.
You’d think that those three words would be rather limiting, but episodes can go in almost any direction in each sci-fi romp.
Showrunners Tim Miller, David Fincher, Jennifer Miller, and Joshua Donen are all confirmed returning for Volume 2, while Jennifer Yuh Nelson (Kung Fu Panda 3) as supervising director. We’re not sure which animation studios will be featured for the second season, but the first season included works from Blur Studio, Blow Studio, Unit Image, Red Dog Culture House, Sony Picture Imageworks, Passion Animation Studios and Sun Creature Studio, and eleven more.
If you're not already excited for season 2 of Love Death + Robots, then maybe you forgot about the fact the show won two daytime Emmys as well as a whole bunch of Annie Awards in 2020, including Outstanding Achievement in animated effects, music, production design, and editing. It's easily one of the best shows on Netflix and a must-watch for sci-fi fans.
Love Death + Robots Volume 2 arrives May 14, with Volume 3 coming in 2022.
