Dick rides again as Apple TV+ announces the comedy-adventure series ‘The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin‘ starring Noel Fielding (“The Mighty Boosh,” “The Great British Bake Off”) will be back for Season 2.
In “The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin,” Turpin sets out on a journey of wildly absurd escapades when he’s made the reluctant leader of a band of outlaws. In this irreverent retelling set in the 18th century, Turpin is the most famous but least likely of highway robbers, whose success is defined mostly by his charm, showmanship and great hair. Together with his gang of lovable rogues, Turpin rides the highs and lows of his new endeavours, including a brush with celebrity.
Since its global debut, the series has been hailed as “extraordinarily funny,” quickly achieving a Certified Fresh critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The “delightful” series features a “spectacular” Noel Fielding who lends “his dry comedic timing to craft an absurdist persona who is both endearing and charismatic,” alongside a cast of “comedy greats.” Season two promises another round of fantastical adventures for Turpin, with a host of great British comedy talent set to star. The complete first season is now streaming globally on Apple TV+.
“The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin” is produced for Apple TV+ by Big Talk Studios, part of ITV Studios, and written by Richard Naylor and Jon Brittain with Noel Fielding.
