After a successful first season on the streaming network, Netflix has announced this morning that they've granted a Season 2 order to LOVE, DEATH, AND ROBOTS, the adult animated anthology web television series. Created and produced by DEADPOOL director Tim Miller, with Joshua Donen, David Fincher, and Jennifer Miller also producing, each episode of the collection was animated by different crews each hailing from a variety of countries. Billed as a re-imagining of Miller and Fincher's long-gestating HEAVY METAL project, LOVE, DEATH, AND ROBOTS starred Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Topher Grace, Gary Cole, Samira Wiley and Stephan Kapicic, with Winstead and Grace tackling live-action roles, as opposed to animated.
Made up of a collection of 18 animated short films that span the science fiction, fantasy, horror and comedy genres, the first season of LOVE, DEATH, AND ROBOTS features characters the likes of sentient dairy products, werewolf soldiers, garbage monsters, cyborg bounty hunters, blood-thirsty demons from Hell and "robots gone wild," just to name a few. Each episode ranged from 6-17 minutes in length, giving viewers something of a refurbished LIQUID TELEVISION experience.
Orchestrating the second season as the project's supervising director is Jennifer Yuh Nelson, who is poised to oversee all episodes. In the past, Nelson has directed multiple episodes of SPAWN, the KUNG FU PANDA 2 and KUNG FU PANDA 3 features, as well as the live-action film THE DARKEST MINDS.
