Love, Death & Robots (stylized as LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS; represented in emoji form as ❤️❌🤖) is an adult animated anthology television series created by Tim Miller for Netflix. Although the series is produced by Blur Studio, its individual episodes are drawn from the work of an international variety of animation studios. The animations span the genres of comedy, horror, science fiction, and fantasy. Each episode is connected to one or more of the three titular concepts. Miller serves as the showrunner and producer alongside Joshua Donen, David Fincher, and Jennifer Miller. Most episodes are written by Philip Gelatt and are adaptations of short stories.
The series evolved from an attempt by Fincher and Miller to produce a feature-length movie reboot of Heavy Metal. The planned anthology film languished in development hell for eleven years due to difficulties with securing the rights to the title, as well as the lack of studios willing to fund the project. Eventually, Netflix became interested in the idea and agreed to distribute it as a television series.
