Although I adore best shows on Netflix right now. The standalone and episodic nature of the installments means there is plenty to enjoy for several fan bases, regardless of the genre being explored. Hopefully, Love, Death & Robots season 4 maintains that compellingly high standard.
Some of the Black Mirror season 7's release date confirmed for 2025, it remains to be seen if Netflix will have two active anthology shows in quick succession. With any luck, it won't be long until Love, Death & Robots' long-awaited comeback.
Love, Death & Robots Season 4 Was Announced In August 2022
Netflix greenlit another batch of episodes 3 months after season 3
Love, Death & Robots season 3 was released on May 20, 2022. The run consisted of 9 episodes, and no more were officially announced until 3 months later. In August 2022, I was elated to find out the show would return. Because it lacks the same linear structure as more traditional TV shows, there weren't any cliffhangers to concern myself with, but that didn't mean I wasn't relieved to discover that Netflix had deemed Love, Death & Robots season 4 worthy of production. That being said, it's still unclear when the next batch of episodes will arrive.
5 Love, Death & Robots Shorts That Deserve Feature-Length Films (And 5 That Are Perfect As Shorts)
Many of the best episodes of Love, Death & Robots feel like they could be even better if they were expanded into feature-length movies.
With the exception of two episodes that form a larger narrative, Love, Death & Robots tends to avoid being self-referential. Almost every installment strives to be truly unique within the show's ittedly broad formula. So, when Love, Death & Robots season 4 does return - whenever that may be - I would expect that framework to remain intact. However, the fact the show has already made and released a sequel to a previous episode opens the door for Netflix to repeat that particular feat in the run.
Love, Death & Robots Season 4 Is Already The Show's Longest Break
It's been almost 3 years since Love, Death & Robots season 3
In true Netflix style, all three previous seasons were each released all at once. Love, Death & Robots season 1 landed on Netflix on March 15, 2019. The show's inaugural run boasted a still-unbeaten total of 18 episodes, which could be watched in any order. It took over two years for Love, Death & Robots season 2 to arrive, with Netflix releasing the slashed episode count on May 14, 2021. Season 2's 8 episodes only remained the freshest batch for one year, as Love, Death & Robots season 3 dropped on May 20, 2022.

The episode count had been boosted a little for Love, Death & Robots season 3, as it totaled 9 installments. So, Love, Death & Robots season 4 has set an unfortunate record as the show approaches the three-year mark without any new episodes. Of course, the show's immaculate animation style takes time, and the SAG-AFTRA strikes will have delayed the process. Plus, Amazon's Secret Level is made by the same creative team, so it's even more understandable why such a sizable delay has taken place.
When Will Love, Death & Robots Season 4 Come Out?
The Netflix show's creator has provided a coy clue
Love, Death & Robots creator Tim Miller has spoken with The Direct about the wait for season 4 and how much longer fans will be expected to wait for the show's return. Although Miller didn't give an exact date, he did tease a loose window. He advised everyone to "look at when we traditionally released the show," as it may provide some clues as to when season 4 will arrive.
5 Love, Death & Robots Shorts That Deserve Feature-Length Films (And 5 That Are Perfect As Shorts)
Many of the best episodes of Love, Death & Robots feel like they could be even better if they were expanded into feature-length movies.
Following Miller's advice and looking at previous release dates, the earliest example is March 15, and the latest is May 20. Therefore, we would appear to be right in the sweet spot. This presumably means that season 4 will arrive any day now, although Miller's semi-cryptic reveal doesn't confirm or deny that. Instead, the fact he says they are "working on it" implies there is still some work left to do. However, with many expecting Love, Death & Robots to have already arrived by now, I think it's unlikely that Miller was referring to a Spring 2026 release window.
