And it thrills me, because the longer I’m with those characters, the more I love them. The fact that something I did to keep my friend from annoying me has gone on to have such a long life – first in the book, then the first season, then being the only episode that is explicitly a sequel – just tickles me. How did it feel to return to these characters?įor me, the thing that was great is I wrote the characters because, years ago, a friend of mine kept poking me until I contributed to her anthology, Robots Vs.
#The witness love death and robots series
While the original “Three Robots” episode was based on a short story by Scalzi, the acclaimed sci-fi author of the best-selling Old Man’s War series and the Hugo Award-winning Redshirts, this time around he wrote the script, too – concurrent with a short story.Īhead of Love, Death + Robots ’ Season 3 debut, Scalzi talked about revisiting these characters, why he wanted to write the script and the surprising experience that helped prepare him for the collaborative process. “And they have to make assumptions, they have to guess, and sometimes they get it wildly incorrect. “Just like any archaeologists, human, robot or otherwise, they are going on information that is piecemeal at best,” says “Exit Strategies” writer John Scalzi. The new episode “Exit Strategies” welcomes back K-VRC, XBOT 4000, and 11-45-G, the trio of inquisitive droids at the center of “Three Robots,” as they continue their investigation into the cause of the end of the (human) world.
So for Season 3, the NSFW anthology of animated stories is, again, doing something completely unexpected: a sequel. Ever since its debut in 2019, Love, Death + Robots has subverted expectations.
