Despite a series of recent setbacks, Netflix continues to thrive and with that comes along some of its most popular programming, of which they’ve managed to garner a huge slice of the streaming pie with their sci-fi content. From mega-hits like Stranger Things to Dark, to the series Love Death + Robots which just announced that it would be getting a fourth season, they’ve kept the streaming giant in motion.

The announcement, which Netflix just dropped via their Twitter account will come as a welcome bit of news to fans of the anthology series and it’s continued goodwill amongst the public. There’ll be more animated scifi stories for fans to sink their teeth into.

The series, created by Miller and Blur Studio (the folks behind the mega-popular Sonic the Hedgehog movies) has 12 Emmys under its prodigious belt of talent, earning them for all the stories their varied body of directors and writers have churned up to depict their various landscapes of technology gone right (or very, very wrong). The first season of the series dominated the 2020 Annie awards (for animation, not red-headed orphans) and it continues to garner more. The episode “Jibaro” just won an Emmy for its director, Albert Mielgo. With each episode done by creative teams that span the globe, the series never has the same look or feel twice (aside from the vague possibility of a story, such as John Scalzi’s “Three Robots” getting a sequel). Seasons 1 and 2 hit in 2019 and 2021 and season 3 landed in 2022. That probably indicated a 2023 or 2024 release date for the next round of ambitious sci-fi storytelling.

Netflix, after having made their bones as a new player on the block with Orange Is The New Black, has long had an issue with canceling their series early on, often two seasons in (sometimes only just one). This has led to distrust on the part of the fanbase, never knowing if something they love will get a proper ending or be left dangling.

Part of the reason possibly relates to how streaming contracts are negotiated. When something goes beyond a second season, everybody aboard gets a chance to renegotiate for higher salaries than they had the first two years while they were establishing themselves. That’s why a show like Love Death + Robots has been such a boon to the streamer: it’s an anthology which means no one person/group is going to get a kickup when it goes on longer than a season or two, aside from the producers, Tim Miller and David Fincher, perhaps.
