Apple TV+ and Prime Video to Release New Series and Biographical Drama
In the upcoming science fiction comedy series "Murderbot" on Apple TV+, Alexander Skarsgard portrays a conscious machine with its own will. Originally programmed to obey humans, ensure their safety, and kill if necessary, the cyborg has reprogrammed itself. Instead of pursuing dangerous assignments and lethal actions, it prefers peaceful activities, such as watching series and observing its charges, whom it deems incompetent and irritating. Titled as idiots, the machine comments wittily on human behavior.
The ten episodes are derived from Martha Wells' "The Murderbot Diaries" book series. Each episode will be released weekly on Fridays, beginning May 16, 2025, with the season finale scheduled for July 11, 2025. The series is a significant adaptation of the popular sci-fi action comedy book series, exclusively available on Apple TV+.
Another notable release is the biographical drama "The Photographer," now available on Prime Video. Based on the life of American war correspondent Lee Miller, the film tells her story in her perspective, illuminating the horrors and senselessness of war. The film features Kate Winslet, Alexander Skarsgard, Marion Cotillard, and Andy Samberg in lead roles.
