‘Murderbot’ Release Guide: When Are New Episodes Out?
Apple TV+ continues to build out its already impressive library of sci-fi TV shows with “Murderbot.” The new comedy from showrunners Paul and Chris Weitz (“About a Boy”) joins “Silo,” “Foundation” and “Severance” as yet another high-concept, star-studded sci-fi offering from its streaming service. Whether or not it will experience the same level of success as those shows remains to be seen, but thanks to its comedic tone and decidedly inhuman protagonist, it seems primed to stand distinctly on its own even in today’s increasingly crowded TV space.
