Murder Drones is an Australian adult independent-animated comedy horror web series created, written, and directed by Liam Vickers and produced by Glitch Productions. The series revolves around two factions of autonomous robots—worker drones and disassembly drones—following the extinction of humans on their planet, and a rebellious worker drone who accidentally befriends a disassembly drone. Together, they uncover an eldritch force that threatens their post-apocalyptic world.
The pilot episode premiered on Glitch's YouTube channel on 29 October 2021. The remaining seven episodes were released from 18 November 2022 to 23 August 2024. The show made it on to Amazon Prime Video on 16 May 2025. The series received positive reviews from critics for its animation, voice acting, action sequences, cinematography, and plot, though its pacing and humour have received criticism. The series received three nominations for a Webby Award in the Best Animated Video category, winning two.
