“Love, Death and Robots” Season 4 is officially returning to Netflix May 15 with ten short animated stories done in varying styles.
The official synopsis for this season reads: “Dinosaur gladiators, messianic cats, string-puppet rock stars, it can only be ‘Love, Death and Robots.’ The fourth volume, presented by Tim Miller (‘Deadpool,’ ‘Terminator: Dark Fate’) and David Fincher (‘Mindhunter,’ ‘The Killer’), sees Jennifer Yuh Nelson (‘Kung Fu Panda 2,’ ‘Kill Team Kill’) return as supervising director for ten startling shorts showcasing the series’ signature, award-winning style of bleeding-edge animation, horror, sci-fi and humor. Buckle up.”
Since premiering in 2019, the series has gone on to win 13 Emmy Awards across 15 nominations. Most recently, it picked up its third straight nomination for best short form animated program — the same category the first two seasons won for. For Season 3’s “Jibaro,” Alberto Mielgo won the juried Emmy Award for best individual achievement in animation.
The show has also garnered high-profile voice actors over the years, including Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Joel McHale, Topher Grace, John DiMaggio, Elodie Young and Chris Parnell.
At the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in 2021, Miller said: “The way I felt is that there was not a lot of adult animation in the west, and particularly not in America, and particularly not at the budget levels that allowed for really high-end CG like what was going on at Pixar and DreamWorks for kids. And we felt it was time to do that for adults.”
