Today, Apple TV+ announced a second season renewal for comedy-adventure series The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin starring Noel Fielding (The Mighty Boosh, The Great British Bake Off) as Dick Turpin.

Since its global debut, The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin 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 Dick Turpin with a host of great British comedy talent to star. The complete first season is now streaming globally on Apple TV+.

In The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin, Dick 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.

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.

The series is executive produced by Kenton Allen, Big Talk Studios (multi-BAFTA Award-winning producer of Rev., The Outlaws, Friday Night Dinner), Noel Fielding, Victoria Grew (Back, We Are Not Alone), Anthony Wilcox (This England) and Ben Palmer (BAFTA TV and Rose d’Or award-winning The Inbetweeners and The Inbetweeners Movie), with Richard Naylor and Jon Brittain as co-executive producers. The series will be directed by Ben Palmer.
