Murderbot (2025)

‘Murderbot’ Energized by Alexander Skarsgård’s Sardonic Central Sentry. The new Apple TV+ sci-fi comedy has been adapted from Martha Wells’ book ‘All Systems Red’ by Chris and Paul Weitz, and blends humor with humanity. Arriving on Apple TV+ on May 16th with its first two episodes (then one episode weekly through July 11th, ‘Murderbot’ has Alexander Skarsgård playing a socially awkward security cyborg that has broken free of its programming, only to end up having to protect a new group of humans it can barely understand, much less tolerate… All the while wishing it could just be binge-watching awful TV shows.

The new sci-fi satire series comes from filmmakers Chris Weitz and Paul Weitz and also stars Noma Dumezweni, Sabrina Wu, Akshay Khanna, Tattiawna Jones and Tamara Podemski.
