Murder Drones is an Australian independent adult animated web series created, written, and directed by Liam Vickers and produced by Glitch Productions. It revolves around two models 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 series' pilot episode premiered on Glitch's YouTube channel on 29 October 2021, and it ran for eight episodes until 23 August 2024. The full series was released on Amazon Prime Video on 16 May 2025. It received positive reviews from critics for its animation, voice acting, action sequences, cinematography, and plot, though its pacing and humour received criticism. The series received four nominations, of which it won three, for a Webby Award in the Best Animated Video categories.
