Netflixmay have become a home for several run-of-the-mill movies and TV shows, but one of their most unpredictable shows is by farLove, Death & Robots.The anthology series returned for its fourth season on May 15, and continued to receive the high levels of praise that everyone has come to expect from the series. Now, MovieWeb has an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the making of the latest season, which you’re able to see below.
Love, Death & Robotsdebuted in 2019 witha collection of stories that ranged from dark satire to outright horror, all under the guidance of executive producers including David Fincher and Tim Miller. Fans loved the mix of genres and the unexpected nature of the series, with each episode bringing something very different to the party in both terms of style, animation and story.
The Best ‘Love, Death + Robots’ Season 4 Episode Makes a Major Change to Its 30-Year-Old Source Material
The change that ‘Spider Rose’ makes to its source material results in a jarring conclusion to the episode.
The latest season holds a perfect 100% Tomatometer score, but after the incredible highs of previous seasons, some viewers were left disappointed that the new episodes did not quite live up to their predecessors. However, the series still topped the Netflix TV chart on its debut, and although a Season 5 renewal has not been confirmed yet, it seems pretty likely that we will be getting at least one more round of the hilarious, macabre, and often dystopian series.

‘Love, Death & Robots’ Is a Series That Has No Boundaries
What setsLove, Death & Robotsapart from many other shows is the drastically different way each season – and indeed each episode - plays out. Past seasons include stories about Soviet soldiers fighting against aliens, an artist inspired by a pool-cleaning robot, a killer crab aboard a sailing ship, and three robots touring a post-apocalyptic Earth. Season 4 continued to shuffle the deck and deal with plenty of alternating weirdness, laughs, and even a touch of music with a bizarre recreation of a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert.
While many shows have been said to become repetitive over time,Love, Death & Robotsis proving that this is where the anthology series can shine. While the new season does revisit a couple of previous stories, in general, the talent and expanse of the storytelling on offer means that it is hard to find the show boring, and if you don’t like one particular story, there is a completely new one following it.
The series is also not averse to bringing in some well-known faces and voices to the show. The new season’s voice cast included Mr. Beast, Kevin Hart, John Oliver, Niecy Nash, John Boyega, and Rhys Darby, among others. All in all, there is a lot to love about the show, especially if you don’t want to spend ten episodes of a series in the company of the same characters and a continuing storyline. In a world where attention spans seem to be getting shorter,Love, Death & Robotsis just what streaming needs.
