Murderbot Episode 5: Release date news, time, streaming details and more

Murderbot Episode 5 will release on Friday, June 6, at approximately 12:00 am (ET/PT) / 5:00 am (GMT).

You can only watch it on Apple TV+. It’s an exclusive original, which means you won’t find it on Netflix, Prime Video, or any other platform.

Murderbot is Apple TV+’s fresh and funny take on sci-fi. At its center is a robot designed for protection, called a “SecUnit”, that goes rogue after hacking its own system. Instead of blindly following orders, this robot now makes its own decisions and deals with a lot of internal drama... all while trying not to get caught.

The show is an adaptation of The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells, a popular series of sci-fi novellas. These books already had a loyal fan base, and the show is doing a great job bringing those stories to life.

What makes this show stand out? It’s not just lasers and space battles. Murderbot is funny, sarcastic, and oddly relatable. It feels more like watching a shy, introverted tech nerd in robot form trying to handle emotions and social awkwardness. Imagine if WALL-E had a dark sense of humor and access to weapons.

What to expect in episode 5 of Murderbot

The big question: Will Murderbot stop the control module from taking over?

We expect a dramatic race against time, some smart hacking, and maybe a little help from Mensah.

Mensah has her doubts. In Episode 5, we might finally see her confront Murderbot about its hacked state. Will he confess? Or play it cool?

This episode could show us more of Murderbot’s internal battle, not just physical survival, but dealing with emotions. Can a robot feel guilt? Fear? Loyalty?

Fans love the balance of action and deadpan humor. Episode 5 will likely bring both. Expect sharp one-liners, close calls, and lots of sass.

The show quietly tackles big questions:

What happens when machines think for themselves? What happens when they don’t want to follow orders anymore?

There are not-so-subtle digs at today’s tech world. The “Company” in the show feels like a stand-in for real-life giants obsessed with profit and control.

Murderbot doesn’t just battle robots. He’s also stuck in a world where money matters more than morality, a world not too different from ours.

Even if you’re not a hardcore sci-fi fan, Murderbot works. Its smart humor, emotional depth, and short episodes make it binge-worthy for all.

It’s not over-the-top or cringey. It’s subtle, relatable, and perfectly timed. The kind of humor where you laugh, and then think.

Episode 5 could be the turning point. Maybe a betrayal? A reveal? A malfunction that changes everything?

We might see Murderbot either fully exposed, or more trusted than ever. Either way, something big is coming.

Murderbot is shaping up to be one of the most exciting sci-fi shows of the year. With sharp writing, brilliant performances, and real emotional stakes, it’s no surprise fans are counting down to Episode 5.

Mark your calendar for June 6, grab some snacks, and get ready to watch your favorite rogue robot go head-to-head with danger, and maybe even himself.
