John Cho, DeWanda Wise, Jack McBrayer, and Clark Gregg are all reprising their roles, adding depth and established chemistry to the upcoming season.

But the excitement doesn’t end there. The expansion brings in a host of new talents who are set to bring fresh energy and unique comedic timing to the team. The roster includes major names such as Steve Buscemi, Michael Sheen, Tramell Tillman, Patton Oswalt, Wanda Sykes, Topher Grace, Blair Underwood, Martha Plimpton, Brendan Hunt, Kali Reiss, Katy O’Brian, Nicholas Braun, Griffin Newman, Jason George, Britne Oldford, and Meredith Salenger, among others.

This blend of established comedic heavyweights and exciting new additions suggests that the second season of Murderbot will be a wildly entertaining mix of high-stakes sci-fi and darkly comedic storytelling.
