Movies“#Murderbot” #Trailer Introduces #Alexander #Skarsgård’s #Rogue Killer in Apple TV+’s Sci-Fi Comedy SeriesPublished 2 days ago on# April 9, 2025 By Meagan Navarro
#Murderbot trailer
It’s rogue. It’s powerful. It’s Alexander Skarsgård’s “Murderbot” and the bot would rather be watching soap operas in the first trailer for Apple TV+‘s upcoming sci-fi comedy series.
“Murderbot” #premieres on #Apple TV+ with the first two episodes on #May 16, followed by new #episodes every #Friday through July 11.
A rogue security unit searches for the meaning of life in the series based on the bestselling book series The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells, who serves as consulting producer. “Murderbot” was created, written, and directed by Academy Award nominees Chris & Paul Weitz (About a Boy, “Mozart in the Jungle”).
The 10-#episode #series follows a self-hacking #security #android (Skarsgård) who is uninterested in and horrified by human emotion yet drawn to its vulnerable “clients.” Murderbot must hide its free will as it reluctantly joins a new mission protecting scientists on a dangerous planet, when all it really wants is to be left alone to watch futuristic soap operas and figure out its place in the #universe.
“It’s not interested in humans, humans are idiots,” Skarsgård recently told Empire of his inhuman character. “It’s kind of appalled by them, and it’s been treated horribly by all its clients up until this moment. But then it ends up on this weird planet with this weird group of humans that are outside the corporate system, and they don’t believe in indentured servitude, they want to talk to Murderbot and invite Murderbot in, instead of storing it in the tool shed, like other clients have done, and that freaks Murderbot out.”
Late Night with the #Devil star David #Dastmalchian plays G#urathin, a human whose gifts as a hacker are enhanced by an interface implanted within him.
The #cast also includes #Noma Dumezweni, Sabrina Wu, Akshay Khanna, Tattiawna Jones, and Tamara Podemski.Hailing from Paramount Television Studios, “Murderbot” is produced by Weitz brothers under their Depth of Field banner. Andrew Miano also executive produces for Depth of Field. David S. Goyer executive produces alongside Keith Levine for Phantom Four

Short filmTranscript
00:00I am a security unit, or SEC unit.
00:03I was built to protect and obey humans, and humans are idiots.
00:10But now that I've hacked my programming, I can do whatever I want, as long as they don't
00:15find out.
00:17Now, let's talk security.
00:21We need you to select a SEC unit to take on the mission.
00:23This is the newest model available.
00:25What's the one behind there?
00:27That's a refurbished model.
00:28Oh, look at that piece of crap.
00:30Oh wait, that's me.
00:31Which one's the least expensive?
00:32That one, but you get what you pay for.
00:35True.
00:36You shouldn't be so creepy if it didn't stand so still.
00:39Shh.
00:40You can hear us.
00:41I can't.
00:42I could.
00:43I just didn't care.
00:44I was watching the entertainment channels on the company's satellites.
00:46I watched 7,532 hours of content.
00:49Shows like The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon.
00:52Did you sleep with that bot?
00:54Stars, Captain.
00:55Oh.
00:56What now?
00:57Run.
00:58Run.
01:08Stay calm.
01:09It'll be okay.
01:10I didn't know it had the face.
01:11Yeah, it's kind of a sweet face.
01:12Stop staring at me.
01:13I wasn't.
01:14Stop staring at me.
01:15I have been noticing some anomalies with the sec unit.
01:20Uh-oh.
01:21And when I plugged into its system, the unit was already rogue.
01:25It calls itself Murderbot.
01:26How's private?
01:27It's a killing machine.
01:28Murderbot?
01:29Can you stop calling it Murderbot?
01:30It's terrifying.
01:31You know what I mean?
01:32That's what it calls itself.
01:33So I'm just being respectful.
01:34Do you think we can trust it?
01:37It seems like it's going through something.
01:42I can't act.
01:45What the hell?
01:49You're gonna kill me.
01:50There was a chance.
01:51Yes.
01:52But everything turned out fine.
01:53I'm stuck in the middle with you.
01:54Here I am.
01:55I'm stuck in the middle with you.
01:56I'm stuck in the middle with you.
01:57Here I am.
