Love, Death & Robots – Picture: Netflix
Love, Death & Robots is coming back to Netflix for a second season but predicting its release has been hard but now thanks to a leaked trailer, it’s likely we’re just weeks/months/days away from season 2. Below, we’ll be cataloging everything we know about season 2 including who’s involved and what we can expect.
Love, Death & Robots is a Netflix Original sci-fi anthology series created by Tim Miller and produced by David Fincher.
The series consisted of 18 short stories, all with their own unique animations and stories. Within hours of release the crazy and out-of-this-world series had sent the internet a buzz. Some have already dubbed the series as ‘The Black Mirror of animation,’ which tells you everything you may already need to know.
It pushes the boundaries of animation with a huge mix of stories and levels of graphic violence and sex. The series was also one of the first for Netflix to experiment with episode orders (although that wasn’t without controversy).

Love, Death & Robots Season 2 Release Date & What We Know
In February 2020, Inverse managed to score an interview with one of the composers, Rob Cairns who gave an insight into the development of season 2 saying: “I’ve seen a couple of the Season 2 scripts and have started discussions with directors and started playing with sound,”.
We’ve predicted 2021 for a while but thanks to a leaked trailer that was put onto Netflix (seen embedded below), we could be seeing it added within a few weeks to months.
Blur Studio is confirmed to be returning for season 2 thanks to various IMDb updates.
