(from Apple's press release, May 2024) Today, Apple TV+ announced the premiere date for the all-new comedic adventure series, "Time Bandits," the first-ever television adaptation of the beloved cult classic movie, to launch globally on Wednesday, July 24. Created for television by Jemaine Clement ("Flight of the Conchords"), Iain Morris ("The Inbetweeners") and Taika Waititi ("Our Flag Means Death"), and produced for Apple TV+ by Paramount Television Studios, Anonymous Content's AC Studios and MRC, "Time Bandits" is an unpredictable journey through time and space with a ragtag group of thieves and their newest recruit: an 11-year-old history buff named Kevin. Together, they set out on a thrilling quest to save the boy's parents - and the world. Guided by Lisa Kudrow, the eccentric crew of bandits embark on epic adventures while evil forces threaten their conquests and life as they know it. As the group transports through time and space, the gang stumbles upon fascinating worlds of the distant past while seeking out treasure, depending on Kevin to shed light on each situation. The Time Bandits witness the creation of Stonehenge, see the Trojan Horse in action, escape dinosaurs in the prehistoric ages, wreak havoc during medieval times, experience the ice age, ancient civilizations, the Harlem Renaissance, and much more along the way. |
