First Look at Apple TV+ Sci-Fi Series “Murderbot” Starring Alexander Skarsgård

Apple TV+ has unveiled the first images from “Murderbot” starring and executive produced by Alexander Skarsgård.

The comedic sci-fi thriller series premieres on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes on May 16, followed by new episodes every Friday through July 11.

Created, written, and directed by Academy Award nominees Chris & Paul Weitz (About a Boy, “Mozart in the Jungle”), the show based on the bestselling book series The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells, who serves as consulting producer.

It follows a self-hacking security construct who is horrified by human emotion yet drawn to its vulnerable clients. Murderbot (Skarsgård) 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.

Hailing from Paramount Television Studios, “Murderbot” is produced by Weitz brothers under their Depth of Field banner. Andrew Miano also executive produces for Depth of Field. David S. Goyer executive produces alongside Keith Levine for Phantom Four.
