Remember Netflix’s Love, Death & Robots? No? Well, go watch this show if you haven’t already because it’s one of the coolest animated anthology series and its fourth season is coming soon. In fact, it’s quietly become such a big win for Netflix that Amazon’s Prime Video service now wants a piece of the pie… but bundles it with a big video game.
Via Deadline, we learned that Love, Death & Robots’ Tim Miller and renowned CGI company Blur Studio are teaming up with Amazon MGM Pictures to produce an animated anthology series based on “Love, Death & Robots” series. Oh, and it has a fitting title: Secret Levels.

Deadline’s sources also reveal that the series has been in development for quite some time and could be revealed as early as next week at Gamescom’s opening night live event, so keep an eye out. As for the games that might be included in the anthology, word has it that Spelunky and Amazon’s own New World will be part of it. Additionally, PlayStation games appear to be part of the package. Does this mean there is a slight chance of getting anything Killzone after all these years? Let me get my bottle of opium…
Details on the number of episodes and the full list of participating studios are unclear. While Blur Studio is the main production company on Love, Death & Robots (alongside Netflix), the entire series is the result of collaborations with different studios around the world, producing different shorts each season. Prime Video’s secret levels could logically follow the same format, especially considering that nearly every video game has its own visual signature and tone. Additionally, it would be interesting to see certain IPs portrayed in a different light.
For Prime Video, “Secret Level” will mark another major addition to its adult animation lineup, which includes series such as “Invincible,” “Hotel Hazbin” and “Batman: The Caped Crusader.” Meanwhile, Tim Miller remains a well-known figure in the gaming community for his work on Borderlands (which he partially remade) and the Sonic the Hedgehog trilogy (which he executive produced) Waiting for credits in movies.
