The series is a re-imagining of Fincher and Miller's long in-development reboot of the 1981 animated science fiction film Heavy Metal, which was originally planned to follow the feature length format of the original film but one that could be better adapted for the new generation.[4] The project however was in development hell for eleven years due to the creative differences between the crew and the studios as well as the lack of interest of the latter. Eventually, Netflix became interested in the idea and agreed to be the distributor of the project, but instead of a film it would be released as a television series.[5]
The first season was released on March 15, 2019;[6] the second season on May 14, 2021;[7] and the third season on May 20, 2022.[8][9] The show has received positive reviews from critics, with praise for each episode's animation style, creativity, diverse storylines, and themes, but criticism for its constant use of mature content.[10] The show has won several accolades from the Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards.[11]
In August 2022, the series was renewed for a fourth season.[12]
