This week, Apple TV+ is enjoying significant highlights with the return of Severance and the season 2 finale of Silo. Unfortunately, some disappointing news has also surfaced: the comedy series Dick Turpin has been unexpectedly canceled.
Cancellation of Dick Turpin on Apple TV+ Following Star’s Exit
The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin is a comedic series that premiered on Apple TV+ in early 2024.
While the inaugural season garnered generally positive reviews from critics, audience feedback was somewhat lukewarm, prompting Apple to renew it for a second season.
However, recent reports from The Sun indicate that the production of season 2 has been abruptly halted.
A new report has emerged shedding light on the situation.
Rod McPhee, writing for The Sun, shares details:
Noel Fielding’s multi-million pound comedy The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin has been cancelled mid-production after he was unable to report to work. The star of The Great British Bake Off and Never Mind the Buzzcocks portrayed the legendary highwayman in the series, which aired its first season last spring on Apple TV+.
While the term ‘unable to report to work’ certainly piques interest, a closer look reveals a more complex situation.
The report clarifies: “This week, creatives, cast, and crew received the heartbreak of the news, simply informed it was due to ‘the illness of a key cast member’.”
Fielding’s reported health issues appear to have led to his withdrawal from the series, and without its main star, Apple TV+ had little option but to discontinue the show.
This situation raises many questions to which we may not have answers. For instance, why was the shooting of Dick Turpin not postponed to a later time? What necessitated the cancellation of the series?
These answers may remain elusive. However, fans of the first season should brace for the likelihood of never seeing the show return.
