Developed by Amazon MGM Studios, Blumhouse Atomic Monster, and Showrunner Peter Ocko, the series follows a premise where a technology conglomerate integrates a high-powered robot into a city's police force using the consciousness of a fallen officer. Stevens has expressed that the role is a “dream” and indicated a desire to maintain elements from the original 1987 film, such as satire and extreme violence, while exploring contemporary themes of technology, identity, and corporate power. He specifically aims to preserve themes of corporate greed, privatization, and the relationship between humanity and technology. Production is currently in active preparation, with filming expected to begin in the spring of 2027. While a specific release date has not yet been announced, Stevens noted that he has not yet tried on the RoboCop costume but expects to do so soon. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-31: Dan Stevens to star in RoboCop TV series for Prime Video Dan Stevens will star as Alex Murphy in a new RoboCop TV series for Prime Video, with filming scheduled to begin in spring 2027. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/dan-stevens-to-star-in-robocop-tv-series-for-prime-video ### 2026-08-28: Dan Stevens cast as Alex Murphy in new RoboCop series Dan Stevens will star as Alex Murphy in a new RoboCop series from Amazon MGM and Blumhouse, aiming to modernize the franchise while preserving its signature satire and intense action. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/dan-stevens-cast-as-alex-murphy-in-new-robocop-series ### 2026-08-25: Dan Stevens cast as Alex Murphy in Prime Video's RoboCop series Dan Stevens has been cast as Alex Murphy in Prime Video’s new eight-episode RoboCop series, produced by James Wan and Peter Ocko. 38 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/dan-stevens-cast-as-alex-murphy-in-amazons-robocop-series --- Cite as: RoboCop television series production.
