“Murderbot” – David Dastmalchian & Alexander Skarsgård Starring in Sci-fi Series for Apple TV+
Two actors who are fan favorites on the genre scene, David Dastmalchian (Late Night With the Devil) and Alexander Skarsgård (The Northman) are co-starring in a new sci-fi television series for Apple TV+ titled “Murderbot,” Deadline is reporting this afternoon.
From Academy Award nominees Chris and Paul Weitz (About a Boy, Mozart in the Jungle), the series is based on Martha Wells’ bestselling book series The Murderbot Diaries.
Deadline details, “the 10-episode series is about a self-hacking security android who is horrified by human emotion yet drawn to its vulnerable “clients.” 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.”
“David Dastmalchian plays Gurathin, a human whose gifts as a hacker are enhanced by an interface implanted within him,” the site’s exclusive report further previews.
Chris and Paul Weitz will show-run, write, direct, and produce the series.
“Murderbot” hails from Paramount Television Studios.

Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
