For a being named Murderbot, the star of Apple’s next sci-fi show is surprisingly relatable. The show — which is also called Murderbot — just got its first trailer, and it sets up the titular lead, played by Alexander Skarsgård, who has just become sentient and is, well, struggling. The bot is forced to hide its free will, and does typical human things like watching too much TV and avoiding eye contact, while also risking itself to protect a research team on a dangerous alien planet.
Murderbot’s first season will span 10 episodes. The first two will start streaming on May 16th, with subsequent episodes dropping on Fridays.
