UPDATE AUGUST 25, 2026: RoboCop star Dan Stevens has confirmed he's joined the Prime Video show with a social media post.
Stevens took to Instagram to share a video about the announcement, confirming his involvement. He didn't have much to add, but judging by the action figure behind him, it's safe to say he's excited.
"Buzz buzz..." he said. "Dead or alive, you're coming with me."
ORIGINAL STORY: Prime Video's RoboCop TV show has reportedly cast Dan Stevens as its star.
The Downton Abbey star has officially boarded the untitled RoboCop reboot series, according to Deadline. Stevens will play a new version of the cop-turned-robot, Alex Murphy.
Amazon MGM reportedly had its eye on Stevens early in the casting process. While he might be best known as Matthew Crawley, he's also appeared in projects like The Guest, the live-action Beauty and the Beast, the animated Among Us series, and more. The original Alex Murphy was played by Peter Weller, who returned to reprise the role across many RoboCop sequels and spinoffs.
Here's the official logline for the show: "A giant tech conglomerate convinces the city to place a powerful robot on its police force — a robot implanted with the consciousness of a beloved, fallen officer."
Amazon greenlit its Prime Video RoboCop revival in July, though it's said to have been in some form of development since the company acquired MGM back in 2022. Peter Ocko (Moonhaven, Lodge 49) is attached as showrunner, writer, and co-executive producer.
