It was the perfect mix of sci-fi and comedy all wrapped up into perfectly bite-sized 30-minute chunks. Now that the first season has wrapped up on Apple TV+, I&#8217;ve been left with a Murderbot-sized hole in my life that no other show has really been able to fill.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The good news is that Apple has gone ahead and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/tv-pr\/news\/2025\/07\/apples-acclaimed-sci-fi-series-murderbot-lands-season-two-renewal\/\" class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">renewed the series for a season 2<\/a>, so we&#8217;ll get to see more of Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd&#8217;s portrayal of the space-opera loving bot in the future. The bad news is there isn&#8217;t any sort of release date for that yet. Fortunately for me, and other fans of the show, all of the Murderbot books and short stories still exist. And if you want to pick up the whole lot of them at once, there&#8217;s a bundle available for just $18 that&#8217;s worth checking out right now.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/zdcs.link\/z62lOl?object_uuid=251a5bc0-b7bc-4c7d-bed5-78cec449f182&amp;t=article\" title=\"Martha Wells&#039; Murderbot Book Bundle\" class=\"jsx-3288811812 product-image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-1-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img alt=\"Martha Wells' Murderbot Book Bundle\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/8187c6tzwhl-sl1500-1756835072380.jpg\"  data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Martha Wells&#8217; Murderbot Book Bundle<\/p>\n<p>0<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The bundle includes more than just the Murderbot books and short stories, offering additional novels from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marthawells.com\/\" class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">author Martha Wells<\/a>.

And while plot momentum sometimes suffers from an over-dependance on a formulaic  structure, the show is refreshingly light and life-affirming \u2013 especially for viewers who may see some of themselves in Murderbot\u2019s cold detachment from humanity. It\u2019s a wryly funny sci-fi comedy with a robot trying to understand humans, even if it would be easier to just kill them all instead.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As with all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humblebundle.com\/bundles\" class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Humble Bundles<\/a>, a portion of the proceeds will go to charity.
