Though its team wasn't initially in on the plan, Murderbot helped save the day and all of its clients when they faced off the GrayCris team. Now, that may have come at the expense of our favorite bot's life. So what's set to happen next? Thankfully we have some preview details beforehand. But first, let's get into the watch info you need to know so you don't miss the finale.
That's right, somehow this season has completely flown by and season 1 is officially over this week. Murderbot episode 10, "The Perimeter," premieres Friday, July 11, 2025 at 12 a.m. ET on Apple TV+. The season finale technically releases tonight for some of you who are in different parts of the country. Here's a breakdown of all the U.S. release times below:

- Midwest: 11 p.m. CT on Thursday, July 10
- Mountain: 10 p.m. MT on Thursday, July 10
Episode 9 last week ended on a bittersweet note when Sec Unit made sure it took the impact of the fall in the hopes of saving Mensah's life. It succeeded in its goal, with the rest of the PresAux team making it out alive as well. It looks like GrayCris all died in the explosion, so they all accomplished what they set out to do. Though Sec Unit is badly hurt, and the episode ends with it saying its clients are the best. They finally grew on it, despite Sec Unit trying not to let those human feelings in.
In episode 10, aka the season finale, the synopsis teases that Murderbot's "fate hangs in the balance," as its clients present a "radical request" to the corporation. While the description does make us worry, the promotional images from the final episode have us breathing a little easier.
It looks like Sec Unit is not completely destroyed, and the techs at the corporation have worked to restore it. The question is though whether its memory is still intact, or does the corporation erase it? That's what I'm wondering.
Plus there's some good news heading into the finale! Apple TV+ has confirmed and announced that Murderbot season 2 is officially happening. It's always great to have that reassurance ahead of the last episode of a season. So, even if the finale ends on a cliffhanger, which it probably will at this point, there's a second season that will be headed our way. As we wait for the end of season 1, check out some more images below!
