The official trailer was simply launched for the Apple TV+ sequence adaptation of Martha Wells’s bestselling, award-winning ebook sequence, The Murderbot Diaries.
Within the trailer, we watch because the eponymous sec unit (or “security unit”), which has named itself Murderbot, is employed for safety element by a crew of scientists. Ultimately, it’s found to have hijacked its personal system and gone “rogue.” Going rogue primarily implies that it, as a safety/killing cyborg, has free will versus being managed. And it, naturally, makes use of this free will to look at hours upon hours of “content,” which incorporates house cleaning soap operas like The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon.
We’re quickly proven how free will is a matter, although, since sec models are designed for violence, and the crew isn’t positive that they’ll belief it. However the hostile atmosphere they landed on means they don’t have a lot of a selection.
Alexander Skarsgård stars, and his comedic timing meshes completely with Murderbot’s awkward temperament, whereas the remainder of the forged—David Dastmalchia as Gurathin, Noma Dumezweni as Dr. Mensah, Akshay Khanna as Ratthi, and others—really feel simply as equally plucked from Martha Wells’s pages.
The sequence debuts Could sixteenth this 12 months, however if you wish to prep by listening to the extremely entertaining (and hilarious) Murderbot sequence earlier than season one drops, the award-winning Kevin R. Free’s narration is ideal.
