Apple TV’s sci-fi comedy series “Murderbot” is preparing for its second season, adding a large new cast. Multiple outlets report that performers including Steve Buscemi, Wanda Sykes, Patton Oswalt, Martha Plimpton, Bridget Everett, Michael Sheen, Blair Underwood and Brendan Hunt are joining the upcoming episodes.
The series stars Alexander Skarsgård as the titular Murderbot and was renewed more than a year before the new casting news. Variety and Deadline both frame the update as a broad ensemble expansion, though their listings emphasize different portions of the full cast roster. Variety’s announcement includes additional names such as Tramell Tillman, Katy O’Brian, Nicholas Braun and others, reflecting a longer roll call of additions.
Across coverage, the central point is the same: “Murderbot” Season 2 brings significant new talent from film, television and comedy to complement the existing cast. No source cited a premiere date, plot specifics, or character details beyond confirming the new performers’ participation.
