Now, Netflix has finally answered those prayers with a trailer and first-look photos for the highly anticipated second volume of the series, set to drop on May 14. But that’s not all: The trailer also announces that volume 3 will hit the streaming service in 2022!
Created by filmmakers Tim Miller (“Deadpool,” “Terminator: Dark Fate”) and David Fincher (“Mank,” “Fight Club”), “Love, Death + Robots” is a short form anthology series adapting science fiction and fantasy short stories in various animated styles and formats.
