First Photos: Alexander Skarsgard In “Murderbot”

Apple TV+ has officially revealed the first photos for its new series “Murderbot” starring Alexander Skarsgård. The new photos showcase Skarsgård as Murderbot – one with and one without his helmet.

In addition, they’ve announced a May 16th 2025 premiere date for the ten-episode series which will release the first two episodes on that day followed by weekly releases through July 11th.

The series is based on the Martha Wells-penned book series “The Murderbot Diaries” which began in 2017 and has won Hugo and Nebula awards.

It follows a self-hacking security cyborg owned by a megacorporation that tries to free itself from enslavement.

Horrified by human emotion yet drawn to its vulnerable clients, it must hide its free will and complete a dangerous assignment when all it really wants is to be left alone to watch futuristic soap operas, form its own connections and friendships, and figure out its place in the universe.

David Dastmalchian, Noma Dumezweni, Sabrina Wu, Tattiawna Jones, Ashkay Khanna, and Tamara Podemski co-star in the series co-created by Chris and Paul Weitz. The Weitz’s will write, direct and produce the series.
