Somehow, the end of Murderbot is almost upon us. And in the next-to-last episode of Season 1, the series takes us nearly entirely right up to the end of the first novella, All Systems Red. This penultimate episode shares its title with the first book in the series from author Martha Wells, and in terms of what we see on screen, it nearly gets us all the way to the end of the book.
But, because there’s one episode left in Murderbot, the episode “All Systems Red” clearly sets up a Season 1 finale that will either hugely expand upon the book or change aspects of the entire story of Murderbot. Here’s why the ending of Murderbot Episode 9 will lead us into uncertain territory in Episode 10. Spoilers ahead.
