Time Bandits is another Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement offering that will likely delight fans of its creators. And that fandom can rest easy as a second season is already in the works.
ComicBook spoke with the pair and asked if they are looking into the future for more of this series, and it was revealed that they’re cooking up even more of this fantasy romp.
Ahead of the two-episode series debut, Clement confirms, “We are actually writing a second season, but it depends on if people watch the first season. If no one watches it, we throw it away in a bin. But I cannot tell you because I don’t want to spoil the second season.”
Time Bandits is an Apple TV+ original series based on Terry Gilliam’s 1981 film. It follows an eccentric group of bandits as they travel through time and space on epic adventures while on a quest to save the parents of their latest recruit. You can watch the trailer here.
