Apple TV+ shares first look at 'Murderbot', a killing machine who just wants to watch TV all day

Murderbot from the Apple TV show, shown alongside the cover for the first Murderbot Diaries book.

Nobody loves a smart aleck, but we're willing to make an exception for this advanced security droid with a penchant for TV soap operas, justifiable violence, and a razor-sharp wit that can cut through bureaucratic shenanigans, corporate espionage, and political smokescreens like a hot laser through ice cold butter.

Author Martha Wells's wildly popular collection of far-future sci-fi novels, "The Murderbot Diaries" is getting a deluxe treatment by Apple TV+ starring Alexander Skarsgård as the titular character, and now we’ve got our first peek at the acclaimed actor in his cool cyborg getup, along with an official release date of May 16, 2025.
