The wildly inventive, genre-defying animated anthology Love, Death + Robots returns to Netflix on May 15, 2025, with Volume 4 — and this time, it’s bringing dinosaur gladiators, string-puppet rock stars, and messianic cats along for the ride.
Netflix has officially announced the premiere date alongside teaser art, a sneak peek trailer, and first-look images from the 13-time Emmy-winning series. From Executive Producers Tim Miller (Deadpool) and David Fincher (Mindhunter), this new volume promises ten brand-new stories that push the boundaries of animation, science fiction, horror, and absurdist humor.
Ten New Visions. One Groundbreaking Anthology.
If you’ve watched Love, Death + Robots before, you know what to expect — or more accurately, that you can’t expect anything. The series has built its reputation on blending philosophical depth, visceral style, and a wildly unpredictable range of animated techniques. Volume 4 looks to raise the bar once again.
Returning as Supervising Director is Jennifer Yuh Nelson (Kung Fu Panda 2, Kill Team Kill), whose signature visual storytelling anchors the anthology’s eclectic tone. Under her direction, each of the ten shorts explores unique corners of speculative fiction, from brutal dystopias to absurdist comedy, with razor-sharp animation and provocative narratives.
With no two episodes alike, Love, Death + Robots has become a cultural and critical force. The series has previously earned Emmys for Outstanding Short Form Animated Program, Individual Achievement in Animation, and Outstanding Sound Editing — and Volume 4 appears poised to follow that legacy.
What to Expect in Volume 4
Volume 4’s teased segments promise a new batch of stories that are as visually experimental as they are narratively bold:
- Dinosaur gladiators locked in brutal combat
- String-puppet rock stars navigating surreal fame
- Messianic cats in a twisted tale of salvation and satire
This range underscores the anthology’s central philosophy: creativity without constraints.
Each short is animated by a different team, representing studios and creators from across the globe, making Love, Death + Robots not just a show, but a platform for emerging and established talent alike.
