Love Death + Robots Renewed For Season 4

Netflix announced it on its Twitter feed (and presumably elsewhere):
Of course I’m thrilled about that and for the whole team at Blur, the production company who makes LD+R for Netflix.
Before anyone asks, at this particular point there’s very little I know and even less that I could tell you about the status of things for season four; Blur and Netflix like keeping their cards close to their chest when it comes to news. I’m just happy that something I’ve been involved with, and have admired well outside my own involvement, gets to keep going. Any show getting a fourth season in the streaming era is an increasingly rare event. I’m glad LD+R has pulled it off, and I’m looking forward to seeing where the series goes next.

Seriously, the answer to any question you might have at this point for LD+R (including any possible involvement by me) is: I don’t know, and if I did know, I couldn’t tell you. I swear I’m not being obstinate. I just don’t have anything to share at this point. When or if I do have something to share, obviously I will share it at the appropriate time.
It’s okay that you don’t know anything. ;-) You knew the most important item, the news that I did not know. We are getting a season 4! Oh happy days. Love, LOVE that series.
Okay, now I wait a year… Maybe I’ll read some of your books to hold me over.
Yay! I told my gaming group the news and they were all excited as well.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who heard this and immediately started thinking of material you’ve written which might get adapted for this season.
Yes! That is wonderful. It is a really fun series and I expect to enjoy the new season.
Thanks for letting us know.
It is great news, but they will be calling you. Your stories are a big part of their success.
I liked season 3, and I’m excited to see that there WILL be a season 4, especially given Netflix’s spotty record in renewing series that generate buzz (at least among my friends).
One might say “of course it’s renewed, it’s excellent!”. But it is indeed a small wonder the series got renewed, especially since it is only for a mature audience, so its reach is limited. It might also be a showpiece for Netflix: Look what’s possible in both quality story telling and animation.
I mean, yeah, of course you can’t tell us anything, whether you know or not, but at this point it would seem a bit weird to have a season of LD+R without any contribution from you. Not impossible, just weird.
Good news anyhow.
the evil continues…
…and I am glad
