The Hugo and Nebula Award-winning book series 'The Murderbot Diaries' by Martha Wells has been greenlit for a 10-episode season on Apple TV+.

I’ve just finished reading the last of the books, and I’m pretty excited to see what they do with the series.

    I wonder how they will get the inner monologue and communication between systems on screen. Murderbot talking about his stories or how stupid humans are is the best part

      My guess would be narration by Murderbot’s actor for the inner monologue.

      The systems communication might partially be handled like how most things handle text messages, with the word bubbles.

      I wonder if they’ll commit to hiding the actor’s face most of the time.

        Maybe they’ll do a Dune and have the characters whisper to themselves half the time.

        That brings up a really good point. A lot of the story is Murderbot describing how they are hacking this or that. It could be really tricky handling that on tv in a way that is entertaining.
