Overview

  • Love, Death + Robots Volume 4 premiered on Netflix on May 15, 2025, marking the series' return after a three-year gap.
  • Netflix has not yet confirmed whether the series will be renewed for a fifth season, with decisions typically based on first-month viewership and completion rates.
  • Production delays for Volume 4 were caused by complex animation processes, industry strikes, and the creators' involvement in other projects, including Tim Miller's work on Prime Video's Secret Level.
  • Critics praised the technical brilliance and diverse animation styles of Volume 4 but noted signs of creative fatigue and recycled ideas.
  • If renewed, a potential fifth season is unlikely to premiere before 2027 due to the time-intensive nature of animation and competing production priorities.
