Netflix has teased us with a trailer that packs the series' signature visual punch and hints at more bizarre and captivating ideas. Here are some highlights we caught in the brief footage:
- An epic space battle or disaster
- A puppet rock band

- Dinosaur-on-dinosaur action
- An alien invasion depicted with miniatures
- A disgusted voyeuristic cat
The series is executive produced by Tim Miller, known for directing Deadpool, and David Fincher, acclaimed for Seven and The Social Network. Jennifer Yuh Nelson, who contributed to Kung Fu Panda 2 and Shrek Forever After, returns as the supervising director.
In a 2022 interview with Collider, David Fincher expressed his hopes for the series' legacy: "If the legacy of Love, Death + Robots is that there are a handful, fifteen people, ten years from now who became directors or became animators or became motion capture performers or doing voice work because they were such big Love, Death + Robots fans, that's all I care about right now."
He also added a candid reflection on the project's ethos: "This show was never going to pay for your Gulf Stream. You're either here because you want to be here or you're not here. We're hoping desperately to get to waste more of our lives toiling in obscurity."
