Oracle Status: Filming/Principal Photography

**Apple TV+’s breakout hit Murderbot is currently in the thick of principal photography for its highly anticipated second season.** Following a stellar debut in May 2025 and a swift renewal, production has shifted from Toronto to Europe, with cameras rolling in Madrid, Spain, and Dublin, Ireland, since March 2026. Alexander Skarsgård returns as the socially anxious, soap-opera-loving SecUnit, alongside returning stars like David Dastmalchian and Noma Dumezweni. Author Martha Wells recently visited the European set, confirming the new season will adapt the next three novellas (Artificial Condition, Rogue Protocol, and Exit Strategy) into a darker, more cyberpunk-infused five-hour arc.

With filming actively underway, the crew is meticulously crafting the ambitious visual effects required for this expanded universe. Expect the rogue android to return to our screens by the early months of 2027.

Oracle Prediction: Season 2 will elevate the visual scale with its cyberpunk themes, targeting an early 2027 premiere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Apple TV Plus officially renewed the series for a second season in July 2025 [1.1.2]. The new episodes will continue the story of the rogue security android based on the popular books by Martha Wells.

The second season is currently in the active filming and production stage. The crew moved from Toronto to locations across Europe, including Spain and Ireland, to capture new environments for the upcoming episodes.

The extended wait is primarily due to the complex visual effects required to build the futuristic science fiction world. Furthermore, relocating the entire production to Europe for the second season added significant time to the overall development schedule.

There are currently no official spin-offs in active development for the franchise. Audiences and critics have expressed strong interest in a spin-off based on the in-universe soap opera The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon, but nothing has been officially greenlit.

The upcoming season is expected to adapt Artificial Condition, the second novella in the original book series. This new storyline will feature a darker tone and introduce the highly anticipated transport ship character known as ART.

While an exact release date has not been officially confirmed, the second season is widely projected to premiere in early 2027. The extensive filming and post-production required for the science fiction elements make a late 2026 release highly unlikely.
