Love Death + Robots will be returning to Netflix with its third volume of episodes later this month, but Alamo Drafthouse will first bring the animated series to its big screens next week. The Austin-based cinema chain is hosting a special "best of" event dedicated to the series on May 10 where attendees will be treated to a showing of the greatest hits from the first two volumes as well as a sneak peek of the upcoming Volume 3.
In addition to seeing some of your favorite sci-fi shorts on the big screen, attendees are also invited to stick around after the show for a livestream Q&A with executive producer David Fincher (Mindhunter), executive producer Tim Miller (Deadpool, Terminator: Dark Fate) and supervising director Jennifer Yuh Nelson (Kung Fu Panda 2 & 3).

Love, Death + Robots is an animated anthology series comprised of short stories that span genres such as science fiction, fantasy, horror and comedy. Each short is unique in its approach to storytelling and animation style, but all are brought together by themes of love, death, and robots.
Season 1 featured 18 shorts, while Season 2 was considerably shorter with just 8. It's unclear how many will be selected for this theatrical experience. Volume 3 is also expected to have an eight-episode count, meaning there isn't much content for a lengthy sneak peek.
Admission to this special event is free, although you can reserve your seat in advance with a food and beverage voucher. For those of us not near an Alamo location, we must wait until Love, Death + Robots debuts on Netflix on May 20th.
