Alexander Skarsgård is Fed Up with Humans in 'Murderbot' First Look from AppleTV+

The new trailer for AppleTV+’s Murderbot has been released and it shows Alexander Skarsgård like we have never seen him before.

Based on Martha Wells’ The Murderbot Diaries, the series follows Skarsgård’s character who is a security guard robot unit tasked with assisting humans but he has had enough of humanity (can we blame him) and has hacked his programming giving him free will. He keeps it on the down low until he is picked for a new mission and his true nature is exposed. 

The sci-fi comedy also stars David Dastmalchian as Gurathin, Sabrina Wu, as Pin-Lee Noma Dumezweni as Mensah, Josh Cruddas as Venenek, Tamara Podemski as Bharadwaj and Tattiawna Jones as Arada. 

Many fans are used to seeing Skarsgård as an anti hero for sure or a murderous vampire but a robot with a disdain for humans who calls himself Murderbot is a new one. From the looks of the trailer, this one looks like it could be a hit. The series will premiere on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes Friday, May 16. New episodes will then drop weekly on Fridays for a total of 10 episodes in the first season.
