The boundary-breaking anthology returns May 15 with 10 mind-shattering tales that prove imagination still reigns supreme.

Let me be the first to say it: NEVER. STOP. MAKING. THESE.

Love, Death & Robots is not just a series. It’s a visual wildfire, an artistic revolution that reignites what speculative fiction can be. In an age of franchise fatigue, formulaic storytelling, and safe bets, this anthology burns through the noise with unapologetic vision. It’s the electric energy of animation unchained—a heterochromatic madness that embraces the weird, the wondrous, and the wordless, sometimes all in the same breath.

Volume 4 proves once again that there are no rules when you let imagination lead. No franchise limitations. No recurring characters to babysit. No obligation to tie stories into tidy moral bows.

What we get instead is the unthinkable:

  • ALL STORIES MATTER.
  • All animation styles matter.
  • All forms of love, loss, and life—matter.
  • Whether Human, Robot, Alien, or Other, we all have stories.
  • We all have meaning.
  • And we are never more interesting than when our worlds collide.

This is the rare show that treats animation not as a genre but as a medium—a vessel for truth-telling, world-bending, rule-breaking art. Each short is a daring experiment, a love letter to science fiction, horror, fantasy, and the blurry liminal spaces in between. And while I don’t know what I’m looking at half the time… THAT’S HALF THE FUN. That’s the point.

Confusion is not a flaw—it’s an invitation. A reminder that wonder lives just beyond our certainty.

From hyperrealistic horror to painterly psychedelics, from glitchpunk nightmares to heartfelt elegies about artificial souls, Love, Death & Robots makes space for every kind of story—the ones studios won’t greenlight, the ones marketers can’t package, the ones we didn’t even know we needed until they crawled into our skulls and set up camp.

Volume 4 doesn’t just continue the legacy—it sharpens it. These are stories that scratch at the boundaries of genre and emerge with new skin. This is the kind of art that whispers to you when you’re alone and makes you dream a little weirder.

So here’s the call to the creators, the curators, the rebels behind the curtain: NEVER. STOP. DOING. THIS.

Release Date: Season 4 premieres May 15, 2025, exclusively on Netflix.

The Creators: Tim Miller and David Fincher return as executive producers, continuing their legacy of creative chaos, with Jennifer Yuh Nelson returning as supervising director—ensuring every frame hits like a punch from the future.

The Teaser trailer? 61 seconds of a fever dream. A slow-motion riot of imagination. We catch fleeting glimpses of: Dinosaur gladiators, mental powers, World War II fighter planes, intelligent felines, rock star puppets — it’s cryptic, strange, and thrilling — exactly what Love, Death & Robots fans live for. I don’t even know what I’m looking at half the time… That’s half the fun.

10 episodes. Each its own world. Each its own style.
No characters to babysit. No formulas to follow.
Just raw, distilled storytelling in a genre-bending format.

Catch Up Now: Seasons 1 through 3 are now streaming on Netflix. If you’ve never seen a yogurt become sentient and attempt to rule humanity, or watched Soviet soldiers battle eldritch horrors in snow-covered ruins, you’re missing out on some of the most original storytelling in modern media.
