What would happen if a robot gained sentience but then tried to hide the fact that it had deeper feelings? Back in 2017, with her provocative novella, All Systems Red, author Martha Wells launched the phenomenon of The Murderbot Diaries and never looked back. As of 2023, The Murderbot Diaries spans seven books and three short stories. And now, that killer book series is joining the Apple TV+ science fiction empire as a new TV series, debuting on May 16.
As revealed by Apple TV+ in an official press release, the series adapting The Murderbot Diaries will just be called Murderbot and will star Alexander Skarsgård as the eponymous robot who gains feelings that it wants to hide.
