The cast has been announced for Apple TV’s Murderbot season 2 and, as the kids say, it is stacked.
The wacky sci-fi series about a rogue security robot (Alexander Skarsgård) who just couldn’t be bothered killing people and would rather be one (even though he doesn’t even like them!), is currently filming its second season and has added more than a few familiar faces including Steve Buscemi, Tramell Tillman, Wanda Sykes, Michael Sheen, Bridget Everett, Katy O’Brian, Nicholas Braun, Topher Grace, Brendan Hunt and Patton Oswalt.
Apple shared it on the official X account (below), writing: “Oh, great. Even more stupid humans.”

Based on the award-winning, best-selling series by Martha Wells, Murderbot follows a rogue security unit as it searches for the meaning of life. Murderbot premieres May 16 on Apple TV+
In a high-tech future, a rogue security robot (Alexander Skarsgård) secretly gains free will.
To stay hidden, it reluctantly joins a new mission protecting scientists on a dangerous planet…even though it just wants to binge soap operas.

Marc
Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
