The workers from the JCJensen corporation on the exo-planet Copper 9 have been credited by some as having “revolutionized YouTube.” Created by Liam Vickers and produced by Glitch Productions, the dystopian comedy-horror animated series Murder Drones has proven to be a massive hit. Debuting in October 2021, each of the six episodes released so far have surpassed 10 million views, leaving many fans asking, when will Murder Drones episode 7 be released?
Thankfully, that question now has an answer, at least a vague one. Three months after the sixth episode’s release, Glitch confirmed earlier this month that Murder Drones episodes 7 and 8, the penultimate episode and the Season 1 finale, will be released in “Spring 2024,” the production company promising fans that they are “hard at work on the final episodes.” As with all previous episodes of the series, the two upcoming episodes will be released on YouTube. You can watch the first six episodes of Murder Drones here.

After the planet suffers a catastrophic core collapse that wipes out all biological life on the planet, including humans, making it a barren and frozen wasteland, only the Worker Drones are left. The happy lives they create for themselves is threatened Disassembly Drones, or Murder Drones, are sent to Copper 9 to exterminate the remaining Worker Drones.
