As a huge fan of Terry Gilliam’s quirky and imaginative storytelling, I couldn’t contain my excitement when I heard that the long-awaited sequel to “Time Bandits” was finally coming to Apple TV+. And boy, was I in for a treat!
Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi are collaborating with Iain Morris, a co-creator of The Inbetweeners, to create a fresh Apple TV+ comedy-fantasy series called Time Bandits, which is inspired by Terry Gilliam’s 1981 movie of the same title.
In this engaging 10-part storyline, we meet Kevin, an eleven-year-old history enthusiast, who finds himself in quite the unexpected predicament. He teams up with a band of misfits for an exhilarating adventure to rescue his parents and, surprisingly, save the world.
During the course of the program, the Bandits have the opportunity to observe the construction of Stonehenge, witness the use of the Trojan Horse, flee from dinosaurs in the primal era, cause chaos during the Middle Ages, endure the Ice Age, and encounter various ancient civilizations, as well as the Harlem Renaissance and many other intriguing periods.
In addition to Waititi and Clement who have minor roles, the main cast includes Lisa Kudrow and newcomer Kal-El Tuck. However, let me clarify the identities and parts of the other actors in the production.
