Murderbot is Apple's highly anticipated comedic thriller created by Academy Award-nominees Chris and Paul Weitz and starring Emmy Award winner Alexander Skarsgård, who also serves as executive producer.
Based on Martha Wells' best-selling, Hugo and Nebula Award winning book series of the same name, 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. 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.
The ensemble cast also includes Noma Dumezweni, David Dastmalchian, Sabrina Wu, Akshay Khanna, Tattiawna Jones, and Tamara Podemski. Murderbot will make its global debut on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes on Friday, May 16th, 2025 followed by new episodes every Friday through July 11th.
