In this Reel Insights episode, Sean Tajipour, the Mayor of Nerdtropolis, chats with Murderbot creators Chris Weitz and Paul Weitz about their fresh and funny new sci-fi series now streaming on Apple TV+.
Chris and Paul break down what drew them to Martha Wells’ award-winning books and share why Alexander Skarsgård was their dream pick to play the sarcastic, soap-opera-loving security bot. They also dive into the unique world-building details — from giant 3D printers to clever Easter eggs — that bring Murderbot’s gritty future to life.
Plus, they share fun personal stories, including what classic shows they’d binge like Murderbot and how a childhood sci-fi comic made it into the series.
With Apple TV+ raising the bar on smart, cinematic sci-fi, Murderbot is a must-watch series full of thrills, humor, and thought-provoking questions about AI and free will.
