Tim Miller and David Fincher’s adult, animated anthology series, “Love, Death & Robots,” has been renewed for a second season by Netflix, the streaming service said Monday.
“Kung Fu Panda 2” and “The Darkest Minds” filmmaker Jennifer Yuh Nelson has joined as supervising director for Season 2 — er, Volume 2, as Netflix puts it, and will oversee all new episodes. No release date or episode count has been set yet for the second volume in the series.
The 18-episode first season of “Love, Death & Robots,” with installments ranging from six to 17 minutes, launched in March to mostly positive reviews from critics. However, the show drew some backlash on social media when Netflix was accused of presenting users with episodes in a specific order based on their sexual identity — an accusation the streaming service firmly denied.
Per Netflix, “Love, Death & Robots” spans the science fiction, fantasy, horror and comedy genres and each short has a unique animation style: from traditional 2D to photo-real 3D CGI. The creators were assembled for a global calling for best in class animators from all over the world including artists from France, Korea, Hungary, Canada and the US among others.
“Love, Death & Robots” is executive produced by Fincher, Miller, Joshua Donen and Jennifer Miller.
