Alexander Skarsgård will star and executive produce in a new TV adaptation of “Murderbot” for Apple TV+ from creators and directors Chris and Paul Weitz.
Based on Martha Wells’ sci-fi Hugo and Nebula Award-winning book series “The Murderbot Diaries,” “Murderbot” centers on a self-hacking security android who is horrified by human emotion yet drawn to its vulnerable “clients.”
The official logline is as follows: “Murderbot 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 and figure out its place in the universe.”
Hailing from Paramount Television Studios, the 10-episode series will be written, directed and produced by the Weitz brothers under their Depth of Field banner.
