The Time Bandits adventure through time has come to an early end as Apple TV+ announced they have cancelled the comedy series after one 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.
Though the original film is a beloved cult classic, the Time Bandits series did not prove popular enough for Apple even with a sizeable audience in the UK. The series was created by Jemaine Clement, Iain Morris and Taika Waititi and was led by Kal-El Tuck and Friends alum Lisa Kudrow.
