There’s been a lot of enthusiastic chatter revolving around "Murderbot," Apple TV+'s upcoming live-action adaptation of author Martha Wells's Hugo and Nebula Award-winning "The Murderbot Diaries" far-future novels, and we previously shared the first images of headliner Alexander Skarsgård in his sleek white android costume back in February as an appetite-whetting prelude.
Apple TV+ has just powered up the first trailer for the ten-episode sci-fi comedy series that arrives May 16, created by the Academy Award-nominated team of Chris and Paul Weitz ("About a Boy"), and it's utterly fantastic. Starring and executive produced by Skarsgård, "Murderbot" revolves around a snarky, self-hacking security robot that has deactivated its governor module. Now it must hide all capacity for free will as the 'bot undertakes dangerous missions for its mortal employers in between binge-watching soap operas and cringing at Humankind's intense emotional outbursts.
