Love, Death + Robots is gearing up for its return to Netflix with Volume 3 of the Emmy award-winning animated anthology series in just a few days, but is hyping up the new release by launching its premiere episode early! The first two volumes of the anthology series were a massive hit with fans thanks to how drastically different each of the offerings were from one another, and the second wave continued this trend. Now with the anthology making its comeback to Netflix with a new selection of animated shorts, fans are hoping to be blown away all over again. ย
