Alexander Skarsgard ("Succession", "Big Little Lies") is set to star in Apple's upcoming 10-episode sci-fi drama series "Murderbot" based on Martha Wells' bestselling book series "The Murderbot Diaries". The show hails from "About a Boy" filmmakers Chris and Paul Weitz.
The series follows 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.
The Weitz brothers are writing, directing and producing under their Depth of Field banner. Skarsgard, Andrew Miano, David S. Goyer and Keith Levine will executive produce.
The project marks the second collaboration between Apple TV+ and Goyer, who serves as showrunner and executive producer on the Apple Original "Foundation" which recently aired its second season.
