Taika Waititi’s Time Bandits Canceled by Apple TV+ Before Season 2

As a die-hard fan of Time Bandits, I must admit that this news has left me utterly disheartened and bewildered. The show was a delightful blend of humor, adventure, and intrigue, with a dash of nostalgia for the original 1981 classic. The stellar cast, including Lisa Kudrow, Jemaine Clement, and Taika Waititi, brought the characters to life in such a captivating manner that I found myself eagerly anticipating each new episode.


Supporters of the freshly premiered sci-fantasy series Time Bandits, which was spearheaded by Taika Waititi and aired on Apple TV+, have some disappointing news to share. Unfortunately, it appears that the show will not be renewed for another season. The show, featuring a group of space-traveling thieves, including an 11-year-old boy, was highly appreciated by viewers and earned positive reviews from critics. With the cancellation of Time Bandits, many fans are left feeling disheartened.

Taika Waititi’s canceled Time Bandits not getting a Season 2 on Apple TV+

The show features prominent actors such as Lisa Kudrow from Friends, Jemaine Clement, and Taika Waititi in key roles, and premiered on Apple TV+ in July 2024. This production turned out to be a massive success in the UK. According to reports, the show is actually a modern reinterpretation of the iconic 1981 film Time Bandits, which was helmed by Terry Gilliam.

Despite not disclosing an explicit reason for its cancellation, it appears that the program struggled to gain a substantial audience in the United States and failed to make the top 10 rankings on Nielsen’s list. This information was initially reported by Deadline.

Regarding the show in July, its creator Iain Morris expressed his belief that “Time Bandits” could be considered a nearly forgotten masterpiece. Many people might not recognize it when you bring it up, but there are others for whom it’s their favorite movie. However, these individuals are relatively scarce. So, if you’re bringing innovative concepts and captivating worlds to life, and sharing them with a fresh audience, I think that’s fantastic, he said.
