Murderbot Season 2: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on July 11, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated July 11, 2025, 11:36 IST If you binged Murderbot Season 1 on Apple TV+ and loved watching Alexander Skarsgård play a sarcastic android who'd rather stream soap operas than save humans, you're probably itching for news about Season 2. The sci-fi gem, based on Martha Wells' The Murderbot Diaries , wrapped its first season on July 11, 2025, and fans are already buzzing about what's next. So, let's dive into everything we know about Murderbot Season 2—release date speculation, who's coming back, and what the story might hold. Murderbot Season 2 Potential Release Date Alright, Apple's playing coy with the release date, so we're stuck guessing for now. Season 1 took about 14 months from filming (March 2024) to hitting screens (May 2025). If they stick to that pace—and fingers crossed they do—Season 2 might start shooting early 2026. That could mean new episodes around June or July 2026. we are betting on a Friday drop, probably with a two-episode premiere like last time, because that's Apple's style. But, like, don't quote me on that—production delays are a thing. Keep your eyes peeled on Apple TV+'s X account for the real deal. Murderbot Season 2 Expected Cast The cast of Season 1 brought Murderbot's world to life, and most of the main players should return. Here's who we expect to see: Alexander Skarsgård as Murderbot : The star of the show, Skarsgård nails the grumpy, self-hacked SecUnit who's more into Sanctuary Moon than small talk. He's also an executive producer, so he's locked in. Noma Dumezweni as Dr. Mensah : Murderbot's favorite human, Mensah is the kind-hearted leader of the PreservationAux team. Their bond is a big part of the story. David Dastmalchian as Gurathin : The techy, augmented human who starts off suspicious of Murderbot but grows to respect it. Sabrina Wu as Pin-Lee : A scientist with a knack for lawyering and a knack for getting under Murderbot's skin—in a good way. Akshay Khanna as Ratthi : The overly friendly team member who keeps trying to buddy up with Murderbot, much to its annoyance. Tattiawna Jones as Arada : A sweet but impulsive scientist who's dating Pin-Lee. Tamara Podemski as Bharadwaj: Another PreservationAux member who adds depth to the crew. Could we see new faces? Maybe. Fans are hyped about the possibility of ART, the snarky AI from the books, showing up. Some Reddit threads even suggest Alan Tudyk as a dream voice for ART, but nothing's confirmed. If Season 2 pulls from later books, we might meet other characters, too, though Apple's keeping casting news under wraps for now. Murderbot Season 2 Potential Plot Season 1 stuck close to All Systems Red , the first Murderbot Diaries book. We met Murderbot, a SecUnit who hacked its own governor module to go rogue (sort of), while protecting a team of scientists on a sketchy planet. It uncovered a corporate conspiracy, fought off threats, and wrestled with its newfound freedom—all while grumbling about humans. The finale left things open, with Murderbot off on its own but clearly not done with its story. So, what's next? Season 2 could go a couple of ways. The second book, Artificial Condition , follows Murderbot digging into its past, specifically a mysterious massacre at a mining facility that pushed it to hack itself. But that story introduces mostly new characters, which might feel jarring after Season 1's tight-knit crew. Instead, some fans and outlets like Fully Booked think the show might jump to Exit Strategy , the fourth book. In that one, Murderbot reunites with Dr. Mensah, who's been kidnapped by the shady GrayCris Corporation. Cue a high-stakes rescue mission packed with action and Murderbot's signature sass.
