Yes. Apple TV+ renewed Murderbot for Season 2 on July 10, 2025. Apple TV announced on August 21, 2026, that the season was in production; as of the report published August 23, Apple had not announced a premiere date.
What is confirmed about Season 2?
The renewal is official: Apple TV+ announced Season 2 on July 10, 2025, one day before the first-season finale was scheduled to premiere. The later production update came from Apple TV’s social post, quoted in an August 23, 2026 report: “Season 2 — Now in production.” That report said no release date had been announced.
Those updates establish that the season was renewed and had entered production. They do not establish when it will premiere. A predicted window is not an Apple-confirmed date.
When will ‘Murderbot’ Season 2 come out?
There is no confirmed premiere date in the latest cited update, published August 23, 2026. Apple’s production announcement was dated August 21, 2026, but it did not include a schedule. Check Apple’s official press page for an announcement rather than treating production timing or online predictions as a confirmed date.

What has Apple announced about the season?
The available announcements confirm the renewal and production status, but do not provide a complete Season 2 cast list, story details, or episode count. Apple’s 2023 announcement ordered 10 episodes for the original series; that figure is not confirmation of Season 2’s episode count.
The show stars Alexander Skarsgård and adapts Martha Wells’ The Murderbot Diaries. Apple’s renewal announcement names Skarsgård as star and executive producer, Chris and Paul Weitz as creators and showrunners, CBS Studios as the studio, and Wells as consulting producer. The 2023 series announcement also named David S. Goyer as an executive producer/showrunner at that stage of development; it is not a Season 2-specific cast or crew update.

Apple describes the series as a science-fiction thriller-comedy about a self-hacking security construct that dislikes human emotion but becomes attached to the vulnerable people it is assigned to protect. It wants to be left alone while hiding its free will. The adaptation is based on the first novella in Wells’ book series.
