Netflix has tantalized us with a teaser trailer that encapsulates the series' signature blend of stunning visuals and bizarre concepts. In just a minute of footage, we glimpse a variety of intriguing scenes:

• An epic space battle or disaster
• A puppet rock band
• An adult toy, eerily brought to life with giant eyes in claymation
• A priest accompanied by a tentacled alien on a beach
• A possibly bionic woman, tormented yet accompanied by a cute fuzzball
• Massive, menacing babies
• Dinosaur-on-dinosaur violence
• An alien invasion depicted with miniatures
• A disgusted voyeuristic cat

The series boasts executive producers like Tim Miller, known for directing Deadpool, and David Fincher, acclaimed for Seven and The Social Network. Jennifer Yuh Nelson, who contributed to Kung Fu Panda 2 and Shrek Forever After, returns as the supervising director.

In a 2022 interview with Collider, Fincher shared his aspirations for the show's impact: "If the legacy of Love, Death + Robots is that there are a handful, fifteen people, ten years from now who became directors or became animators or became motion capture performers or doing voice work because they were such big Love, Death + Robots fans, that's all I care about right now."

He also humorously noted the passion behind the project: "This show was never going to pay for your Gulf Stream. You're either here because you want to be here or you're not here. We're hoping desperately to get to waste more of our lives toiling in obscurity."
