First Look at the Apple TV+ Sci-Fi Series MURDERBOT Starring Alexander Skarsgård
Apple TV+ has revealed a first-look at its highly anticipated comedic sci-fi thriller series Murderbot, which stars Alexander Skarsgård.
The series is based on Martha Wells' best-selling, Hugo and Nebula Award winning book series The MurderbotDiaries, and the story centers on “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 series was created by Chris and Paul Weitz (About a Boy, Mozart in the Jungle) and the ensemble cast also includes Noma Dumezweni (Presumed Innocent), David Dastmalchian (Oppenheimer), Sabrina Wu (Joy Ride), Akshay Khanna (Critical Incident), Tattiawna Jones (The Handmaid’s Tale), and Tamara Podemski (Outer Range).
Murderbot is being produced by Paramount Television Studios. The Weitz brothers wrote, directed and produced the series, and David S. Goyer is also an executive producer.
