Alexander Skarsgard stars as a security unit robot who no longer has to obey humans in Apple TV+’s Murderbot. The trailer shows Skarsgard explaining his situation. “I was built to protect and obey humans. And humans…are idiots,” says Skarsgard. “But now that I’ve hacked my programming, I can do whatever I want.”
Season one also stars Noma Dumezweni, David Dastmalchian, Sabrina Wu, Akshay Khanna, Tattiawna Jones, and Tamara Podemski.
“Murderbot is a sci-fi thriller/comedy about a self-hacking security construct who is horrified by human emotion yet drawn to its vulnerable clients,” reads Apple TV+’s synopsis. “Played by Skarsgård, Murderbot must hide its free will and complete a dangerous assignment when all it really wants is to be left alone to watch futuristic soap operas and figure out its place in the universe.”
Based on Martha Wells’ best-selling, Hugo, and Nebula Award-winning book series The Murderbot Diaries, the sci-fi series comes from Oscar nominees Chris and Paul Weitz. Wells is involved as a consulting producer, and Chris and Paul Weitz serve as writers, producers, and directors. Executive producers include Alexander Skarsgard, Andrew Miano, David S. Goyer, and Keith Levine.
The 10-episode season premieres on May 16, 2025 with the first two episodes. New episodes stream on Fridays.
