If you want animation that pushes boundaries then Netflix’s Love Death + Robots is not for you. Because the series doesn’t push them. It’s not even aware boundaries exist. Through two seasons that has led to one of the most wild and most unpredictable shows on television. It’s also one of the best. The anthology series already has 11 Emmy wins. Now the new trailer for Volume 3 promises nine installments that will keep the surreal fun going. But this season will have something the first two didn’t: executive producer David Fincher as a director for an episode. It marks his debut heading up a cartoon.
What other show offers negotiations with sea monsters, organized rat battalions, killer robots with sass, and journeys through eons of thought? Exactly. You don’t even need to see a trailer to know that can only be Love Death + Robots. This season’s worth of animation and story is everything we’ve come to expect from the show.
You can find the full rundown of all nine Volume 3 episodes below. The lineup includes “Bad Travelling,” the first-ever animated work directed by Fincher (MINDHUNTER, Mank) himself. He executive produces the show alongside Tim Miller (Deadpool, Terminator: Dark Fate). The two will also participate in a Livestream Q and A alongside “Kill Team Kill” director Jennifer Yuh ahead of the season’s premiere. That event will also include showings from the best of Volumes 1 and 2, as well as a sneak peak at Volume 3. It takes place on May 10 at Alamo Drafthouse theaters in the US. You can sign up to attend at a location near you via Alamo’s official website.
We’re sure fans will love hearing from the people behind the show. We don’t think the screening, nor the panel, will include any death or even any robots. But with this show we can’t totally rule it out either.
Love, Death + Robots Volume 3 premieres on Netflix May 20.
