LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS VOLUME 2 

LOVE, DEATH + ROBOTS, the showis a science-fiction anthology highlighting the work of artists from around the world. Helmed by David Fincher and Tim Miller, season 1 was a genre-defying masterpiece, including elements of cyberpunk, steampunk, and even body horror.

Each animated short, ranging from 6-17 minutes, revolves around the common themes of love, death, and robots. Aside from those similarities, however, they are wildly different, some set in post-apocalyptic worlds, some tackling the bioengineering of the future and some looking at the classic conflict between military and science.

Oxygen

Synopsis: No escape, no memory, 90 minutes to live. Liz is running out of oxygen and time, in order to survive she must find a way to remember who she is. After waking up in a cryogenic unit, Liz fights to survive and remember who she is before her oxygen runs out.

“‘Oxygen’ is a French survival thriller directed by Alexandre Aja. Aja first rose to international prominence as a horror filmmaker in 2005 with the French slasher film “High Tension,” which caught the attention from Wes Craven, who then tapped Aja to helm the remake of Craven’s 1977 classic “The Hills Have Eyes.” Aja went on to direct “Piranha 3D,” another remake about killer piranhas; “Horns,” which starred Daniel Radcliffe as a man falsely accused of raping and killing his girlfriend; and most recently the box office hit “Crawl,” which was produced under Sam Raimi for Paramount.

Selena, The Series Part 2 Release date: May 12th

Special Season 2

‘Special’ is a semi-autobiographical show that tells the story of Ryan Hayes, a young gay man with cerebral palsy who decides to finally take on life courageously. If you think season one is already too hot to handle, wait until you see season 2! Ryan O’Connell already promised to “level up” ‘Special’ for season 2. Ryan and his overprotective mother somehow soured their relationship after engaging in a heated argument by the end of season one. We can expect to see Ryan and his mom patch things up for season 2. This is one of the best Netflix web series in 2021.

Special Season 2 Release date: May 20th

Castlevania Season 4 

Castlevania has been one of Netflix’s most popular original shows ever since it first premiered in 2017, but fans have been forced to remain patient waiting for new content. Castlevania is a superb series with an all-star cast, the platform was sure to renew the series – especially considering the ultra-impressive 92% and 8.2/10 scores on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB respectively.

We don’t currently have any concrete leaks on the possible plot for season 4, but it’s safe to say that the next instalment of Castlevania should continue from that awesome finale.

We will probably see Carmilla set her ‘corridor-pen’ plan into action with Hector now enslaved to Lenore. Whilst the forge master will have to create an army of night creatures for her, I could easily see a betrayal on the cards – with Lenore and Hector ruling together.

Castlevania Season 4 Release date: May 13th

Ghost Lab

GHOST LAB’s storyline is quite unconventional, because it attempts a deeper exploration of our belief in the supernatural, and whether this can be proven by science. It’s an honor to be partnering with a global platform that allows for creative expression and I hope this movie will encourage the audience to contemplate their ways of life and find the answers to their questions. This is one of the best Netflix series in 2021.

Ghost Lab Release date: May 26th
