But, because there’s one episode left in Murderbot, the episode “All Systems Red” clearly sets up a Season 1 finale that will either hugely expand upon the book or change aspects of the entire story of Murderbot. Here’s why the ending of Murderbot Episode 9 will lead us into uncertain territory in Episode 10. In the episode, Murderbot sweetly thinks to itself, “My clients are the best clients.” In the book, when it realizes everyone is safe, it tells us: “Then I let go.”The episode ends with a cliffhanger. But now, Murderbot the TV series is in a position to turn that brief coda into something much longer, and potentially, more complex. The Murderbot finale airs on Apple TV+ next Friday, July 11, 2025.
