‘Murderbot’ (Season 1)
Stream on May 16
Murderbot is a captivating science fiction action-comedy set in a futuristic world. The show follows a private Security Unit, or SecUnit, programmed to protect humans but humorously perceives them as foolish. After hacking its own programming, the self-proclaimed Murderbot (played by Alexander Skarsgård) realizes it can act independently—so long as its newfound self-awareness remains a secret.
Reluctantly joining a team of scientists on a perilous mission, Murderbot’s cravings for binge-watching soap operas contrast sharply with the thrills of a dangerous adventure.

Audiences can tune in to Murderbot on May 16.
