Apple TV+ has shared the first images of Alexander Skarsgård in its upcoming sci-fi series, “Murderbot.”
Based on Martha Wells’ Hugo and Nebula Award-winning book series “The Murderbot Diaries,” the show follows a self-hacking security construct (Skarsgård) that finds itself simultaneously put off by human emotion and yet drawn to its clients in spite of that. While Skarsgård’s robot wants nothing more than to be left alone to watch its favorite “futuristic soap operas” and try to discern its place in the universe, it is forced to suppress its free will and its desires in order to complete a “dangerous assignment.”
