Fans of Apple TV+’s sci-fi series Murderbot do not have to worry about a lack of resolution in tomorrow’s season finale as the streamer announced a second season renewal for the Alexander Skarsgård series.
Based off the books by Martha Wells and developed by Chris and Paul Weitz, the series follows Skarsgård as an advanced security robot who goes AWOL to find the meaning of life. Skarsgård executive produces with the Weitz brothers.
“We’re so grateful for the response that Murderbot has received, and delighted that we’re getting to go back to Martha Wells’ world to work with Alexander, Apple, CBS Studios and the rest of the team,” Chris and Paul Weitz said.
“Chris, Paul, Alexander and the entire Murderbot team have delivered a brilliantly original, addictive, witty and vibrant adaptation that has captured the imagination of audiences everywhere. We can’t wait to unveil what’s next for Murderbot and, of course, ‘Sanctuary Moon’ in season two,” said Matt Cherniss, Apple TV+’s head of programming.
The series finale, titled ‘The Perimeter’, will premiere tomorrow (Friday, July 11th).
“In a high-tech future, a rogue security robot (Alexander Skarsgård) secretly gains free will. To stay hidden, it reluctantly joins a new mission protecting scientists on a dangerous planet…even though it just wants to binge soap operas.”
Murderbot stars Alexander Skarsgård, Jennifer Sendaula, Noma Dumezweni, David Dastmalchian, Sabrina Wu, Akshay Khanna, Tattiawna Jones and Tamara Podemski.
