The Hugo Award-winning The Murderbot Diaries<\/em><\/a> books from Martha Wells are becoming a 10-episode Apple TV+ series starring Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd, Apple announced<\/a>. It will follow a self-aware “SecUnit” robot that must hide its free will in order to complete a dangerous assignment and comes from About a Boy<\/em> creators Chris and Paul Weitz.<\/p>\n

“Murderbot<\/em> is an action-packed sci-fi series, based on the award-winning books by Wells, about a self-hacking security android who is horrified by human emotion yet drawn to its vulnerable ‘clients,'” Apple wrote. “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.”<\/p>\n

The Weitz brothers will write, direct and produce the series, while Skarsg\u00e5rd will also serve as executive producer. Apple TV+ currently offers other sci-fi series including Silo<\/em>, For All Mankind<\/em>, Invasion<\/em> and others. The streaming service needs to keep the content flowing as it has doubled Apple TV+ prices<\/a> in just over a year. At the same time, Apple is looking for the right kind of content as it aims to avoid hot-button topics following the cancellation<\/a> of The Problem with Jon Stewart<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Several Murderbot<\/em> chapters have made Engadget’s gift guides and recommended reading lists. We called the Fugitive Telemetry<\/em> novella a “banger” with “space intrigue and robotic mysteries” and recommended the earlier novella series in our 2019 holiday guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n
