Time Bandits Cancelled at Apple TV+ After One Season

Time has run out on Apple TV+’s Time Bandits: The epic fantasy is ending after just one season at the streamer, TVLine has learned.

An adaptation of the 1981 Terry Gilliam film, Time Bandits followed an 11-year-old history buff named Kevin (Kal-El Tuck) as he joined up with a ragtag group of thieves and traveled through time and space with them on a series of fantastical adventures. Lisa Kudrow co-starred as Penelope, with Charlyne Yi as Judy and Kiera Thompson as Kevin’s sister Saffron.

Taika Waititi served as a co-creator of Time Bandits along with his What We Do in the Shadows producing partner Jemaine Clement and The Inbetweeners alum Iain Morris. Waititi also appeared on the show as the Supreme Being, with Clement playing the villain known as Pure Evil. (What We Do in the Shadows is also set to end its FX run with its sixth and final season, debuting this October.)

Time Bandits debuted on Apple TV+ in July, with two episodes airing each week until the Aug. 21 season finale. The cancellation caps Time Bandits’ run at a total of 10 episodes.
