The last time Elastic CD Hazel Baird and studio Rough Collie teamed up we got the Emmy-nominated titles for Lessons in Chemistry. This latest collaboration with Apple TV+ sets a quirky tone for the sci-fi comedy Murderbot.

Based on the series of best-selling books by Martha Wells and scored by American composer Amanda Jones, the show follows a rogue security unit (played by Alexander Skarsgård) “as it searches for the meaning of life”.

To fully appreciate the delicate tonal balance the titles strike by using toy-like figures to capture the self-aware comic vibe of the show, we suggest having a look at the Murderbot trailer for context:
