RoboCop: Prime Directives is a TV miniseries released in 2001. It is based on the 1987 science fiction action film RoboCop directed by Paul Verhoeven. The series consisted of five feature length movies: Dark Justice, Meltdown, Resurrection, Crash and Burn, and Final Justice. All five episodes have since been released on DVD.

The previous incarnation of RoboCop was the family-friendly TV series from 1995. Grant had no interest in perpetuating this approach, however, and would return RoboCop to his dark, violent roots. Although Prime Directives takes place ten years after the original film, the production was not permitted to use clips from the feature films. However, MGM had licensed shots of Murphy's death scene from the original film for the television show to use. The creators of Prime Directives took the footage that the TV show used, recolored the shots blue, and used them in the third film in the series, "Resurrection."

Prior to being cast, Page Fletcher had not seen the RoboCop feature films and no effort was made to mimic Peter Weller's original movements. Page Fletcher instead worked out a RoboCop movement system for himself that he felt was appropriate for where the character was, physically and emotionally.

Prime Directives takes place ten years after the first RoboCop film (which was set in 1992-1993, according to Murphy's tombstone). This series is largely considered an alternate reality to the films as major events of the second and third films and the television series are almost completely ignored. In contrast to the events shown in the films, Delta City is developed and OCP is not dissolved. In the theatrical movie series, Murphy is publicly revealed to have been converted into RoboCop and openly uses his legally deceased name whereas in this series, Murphy's identity remains secret until the fourth episode, in which he is legally recognized as Police Commander Alex Murphy, formerly known as Robocop Model 01.
