‘Love, Death + Robots’ Come (Back) This May For Volume IV
Get ready for more anthological tragic horrors
Big day for adult anthology animation it seems. An old friend of Netflix’s innovative glory days, animated anthology series Love, Death + Robots is finally headed back after three years. The streamer released a teaser trailer Tuesday for the show’s fourth volume which revealed a May 15 premiere. It gave glimpses at such enticements as tentacled robots, peculiar dildos, dinosaur gladiators, messianic cats, string-puppet rock stars.
No guest stars have been revealed, but previous volumes have included Michael B. Jordan, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Joel McHale, Josh Brener, Topher Grace, Gary Cole, John DiMaggio, Elodie Yung, Yuri Lowenthal, and Chris Parnell. If Kevin Hart gets announced or revealed, don’t be surprised. I’m pretty sure I heard him. The series was created by Deadpool director Tim Miller and is produced by Blur Studio. Miller, Mank director David Fincher, Jennifer Miller and Joshua Donen are the executive producers with Kung Fu Panda 2 director Jennifer Yuh Nelson returning as supervising director. There will be ten “startling” shorts, up one more from the third volume’s 9, showcasing the series’s signature award-winning style of “bleeding-edge animation, horror, sci-fi and humor”. Buckle up they say. Some episodes feature the bleeding-edge animation is in a variety of styles, sometimes in live-action settings, which is poised to continue.
'Robot Chicken' 20th Anniversary Special Set To Air This Summer
Robot Chicken hasn’t aired a new episode in almost three years, but it’s coming back for a party. An anniversary/corporate takedown party. It was announced on February 20, on the show’s 20th anniversary, that a special for the occasion has been produced for it and will air this summer on its
Its award winning includes 13 Primetime Emmys and eight Annies over those first three volumes, as well as ACE Eddie, MPSE and Visual Effects Society prizes. Those Emmys include Outstanding Short-Form Animated Program for all three volumes. In fact, those were three of the last four Emmys to ever be given out in that category. Only Robot Chicken, a 12-time nominee in the category, won it as many times as Love, Death + Robots. It ended its fully-produced season format a month before Volume III, and will not have aired its 20th anniversary special by the time Volume IV comes. Without them, and children’s and family programming spinning off into its own Emmys unbound by daypart, Outstanding Short-Form Animated Program collapsed and was discontinued, making the show, with its “Jibaro” episode, the final winner. It will now have to compete against its half-hour brethren for Outstanding Animated Program. “Zima Blue” and “Alternate Histories” are among my favorites.
