Netflix’s mind-expanding animated anthology, “Love, Death + Robots,” has just dropped the trippy trailer for Season 3 and it’s a far-out smorgasbord of sci-fi shorts centered around monstrous crustaceans, astronauts on acid, ravenous zombies, a cyborg bear, insectoid extraterrestrials, elder gods, silly robots, seductive sirens, and super-smart rats, all guaranteed to deliver recurring nightmares. David Fincher (“Se7en,” “Alien 3,” “Zodiac”) has been executive producing this intriguing series since it first debuted on Netflix back in March 2019, and this upcoming season of ” Love, Death + Robots ” will see him stepping into the director’s chair to helm his first piece of animation on one of the series’ nine episodes. Many hardcore fans felt letdown a bit by the creativity and storylines in last year’s season 2, but hopefully this new lineup for the Emmy Award-winning show gets things back on track. And if not, there’s a lot more sci-fi to check out on Netflix this month . Have a look at the “Love, Death + Robots” season 3 trailer below and admit it looks amazing! Adults only please: Besides Fincher dipping his creative toe into animation, this latest collection of nine sci-fi, fantasy, and horror nuggets has a wealth of top-notch talent behind the camera including co-executive producer Tim Miller (“Deadpool”), Academy Award-winner Alberto Mielgo (“The Windshield Wiper”), Jennifer You Nelson (“Kung Fu Panda 2”), Carlos Stevens (“The Alchemist’s Letter”), Jerome Chen (“Stuart Little”), Patrick Osborne (“Feast”) and more.
