This is no ordinary Murderbot
A new comedic sci-fi series starring Alexander Skarsgård is coming to Apple TV+
The trailer shows off a futuristic workplace world, filled with The Office-like gags
Martha Wells’s The Murderbot Diaries serves as the inspiration for the show
It’s hard to believe it was way back in December of 2023 when we first learned that Alexander Skarsgård (True Blood, The Northman) would star as Murderbot, the snarky rogue SecUnit in Apple TV+’s adaptation of Martha Wells’s Nebula and Hugo Award-winning The Murderbot Diaries series of far future sci-fi novels and novellas that began with 2017’s All Systems Red.
After sterile images of an emotionless Skarsgård in a sweet cyborg suit and circular mask were revealed this past February, Apple TV+ has now treated Murderbot faithful fans with the first full trailer for the live-action show, which launches on May 16 with a special two-episode premiere – and it looks like it has the making to be one of the best Apple TV+ shows.
