Martha Wells' Murderbot series being adapted for TV!!!!

[jo]

This actually made me squeal with glee!

It's being developed for AppleTV+ and was apparently greenlit a year ago, but this is the first I've heard of it, so apologies if it's old news for some. They've cast Alexander Skarsgard as Murderbot.

I'm happy for her as I imagine this is going to make the books even more visible. I have my doubts about the series though. I'm rather disappointed in the casting, and I'm particularly wondering how they're going to present this because so much of the books' charm comes from Murderbot's internal dialogue.

Oh wow this is exciting! Skarsgard will make a good Murderbot, he's definitely imposing. Although I always pictured Murderbot as more fem for some reason.

I don't have Apple+ so I imagine I won't be able to watch it, but I'm really glad this is being made and bringing even more visibility to Murderbot! :D
