Has Murderbot been renewed for Season 2? Here's what we know:
Murderbot is the latest comedic sci-fi on Apple, successfully adapting the book sporting the same name and adding 10 highly enjoyable and humorous episodes to boot. So after watching it in its entirety, you may be wondering if this has been renewed or cancelled. Here's what we know:
What is Murderbot about?
Based on the award-winning, best-selling series by Martha Wells, Murderbot follows a rogue security unit that's self-hacked itself free of company restraints, only to find itself horrified by human emotion yet drawn to its vulnerable clients. Played by Skarsgård, Murderbot is forced to hide its free will and complete a dangerous assignment when all it really wants is to be left alone to watch futuristic soap operas and figure out its place in the universe.
We have ongoing coverage of Murderbot on the site including recaps of every episode. You can find those HERE!
Has Murderbot been renewed for season 2?
At the time of writing, Murderbot has not been renewed for season 2. Generally Apple would gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate.
With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before a decision over a show's future is made.
So far, Murderbot has had a really good reaction from critics and audiences alike, with many commenting (including ourselves) that the plot and humour both work really well together.
Given the way this show is set up, we're predicting that this will be renewed for a second season. The series does have plenty of potential and we know that the series has been highly popular too, with it nestling within the top 20 chart on IMDB's popularity meter, along with simple and easily digestible episodes.
However, we could be completely wrong, given Apple don't always renew every show, so take our prediction with a pinch of salt!
What we know about season 2 so far:
Barely anything is known about season 2 at this point as Apple haven't officially renewed this one. Should it be renewed, we have some big questions. What will happen to Murderbot and the Preservation Society? Will we see a return of the same characters as before? And will Murderbot ever watch another show other than Sanctuary Moon?
It seems unlikely but if this series is renewed, we'd expect it to be green-lit with another 10 episode order, and bring back a lot of the old cast too.

I went from being asked if I have grandkids to people refusing to believe I have a 17-year-old, here's my cheap tips
A BEAUTY buff has spilled the beans on how she reverse aged in just six weeks thanks to easy tips - and there's not an injectable in sight. Sarah Snodgrass Selvidge went viral earlier this year after people allegedly assumed she was a gran - despite being 40 and not having any grandchildren. 2 At the time, the 40-year-old - who many wrongly assumed was 55 and older - was covering her greys with a dark hair dye, cakey foundation and a thick lipliner. Baffled by the reaction, Sarah said in the now-viral video: ''I know I'm 40 but c'mon now.'' The clip took the internet by storm, winning the mum more than 8.3million views, with kind-hearted viewers flooding to comments to offer her a helping hand. One of the most common suggestions amongst the over 71k comments was re-learning how to do her make-up to slash decades off her face. A beauty buff advised: ''It's your makeup, the older we get the less we can wear. We have to change the technique too. ''What used to work, doesn't work the same now.'' And it seems that since taking the internet by storm and being dubbed ''granny'', Sarah has taken the advice in - now looking better than ever. Proudly showing off her new glow, the mum left everyone gobsmacked with the makeover - and it was all achieved by changing up her beauty routine. ''From that to today. I was told today I didn't look old enough to have a 17-year-old child. ''How does one go from being asked if they have grandkids to being told they don't look old enough to have a child that they have, in a matter of six weeks? I'm 52 but look DECADES younger - I avoid too much makeup, 'trashy' ripped jeans ''With better make-up and better hair, of course.'' During the epic glow-up process, the mum, from the US, ditched the dark bob and has since embraced a lighter hairdo with soft waves. Sarah has also said goodbye to extra heavy foundation that hid the glow underneath. She told social media users: ''A much lighter base, let my skin shine through, with a glowy look.'' Whereas in the past the mum would draw her eyebrows on with a dark pencil, Sarah is now getting the brows done professionally and seems to be using a lighter tint that's not so harsh. The 40-year-old stunner has also said goodbye to extremely heavy eyeshadow - and now swears by a softer look, which has shaved years off her appearance. In the clip, she could be seen looking as fresh as ever with a peachy eyeshadow that has light shimmer and enhanced the beauty of her eyes. ''Higher blush placement and higher bronzer placement'' have also worked a treat in reverse ageing, no longer dragging her face down. For her pout, the mum now uses a light-coloured gloss and has also ditched the harsh lip liner from the routine. 1. Never go to bed in make up 2. Moisturise daily 3.

Whitney Port responds to claim she 'glorifies an unhealthy body image'
Whitney Port has responded to claims that she 'glorifies an unhealthy body image' for the young women who follow her. On Sunday, the 40-year-old star took to Instagram for an 'ask me anything' session. One person asked: 'Do you think your body glorifies an unhealthy body image for girls?' The mother-of-one said: 'I totally understand this question, and I appreciate you asking it with care. 'I never want my appearance to make anyone feel like they need to look a certain way - especially young kids.' 'I know I'm thin - it's how my body has mostly always been - but that doesn't mean I don't have my own complex relationship with food and body image. 'I continue to work with a nutritionist to help support a healthy relationship with eating and my body, and that journey is ongoing.' Whitney said she shares her life 'as honestly as I can, but I also recognize how powerful images can be'. She emphasized that 'health and beauty come in so many different forms, and I try to be mindful of that in what I put out into the world'. The star concluded: 'I'm always open to learning and doing better, especially as a mom to a son who's growing up in this same world.' Back in 2023, she previously admitted to not eating enough. She said: 'I do think I'm clearly not eating enough and that how I look right now does not look healthy. It's not how I want to look.' The ex-reality TV star then asked her fans not to 'worry' and explained she was planning to 'eat thoughtfully' and 'put the right things in (her) body,' as well as 'work out in a way that will build muscle'. In Sunday's AMA, Whitney was also asked about aging, with one person positing: 'How do you embrace getting older?' She once again gave an honest answer, writing: 'Physically, it's been a challenge to look at myself and not judge or expect things to look the way they used to. 'I started noticing the biggest changes around 38, especially in my skin - some sagging and crepiness - and that's taken some getting used to. 'Living in LA, where the obsession with staying young is so intense, it's easy to get caught up in it. I'm trying really hard not to let that happen. I want to care without being consumed. 'Emotionally, getting older has felt really good. There's more awareness, more perspective, and a deeper sense of who I am. 'I care less about things that used to take up way too much space in my head - and that part has been such a gift.'
