Apple TV+ cancels Time Bandits after one season

As a gamer who has spent countless hours navigating through various digital landscapes and time-traveling adventures, I must say that hearing about the cancellation of “Time Bandits” feels like a punch to the heart. I was captivated by the whimsical charm of this series, the imaginative sets, and the stellar performances from Lisa Kudrow and Kal-El Tuck. It was a refreshing take on the time-travel genre that unfortunately slipped under the radar for many.

Last month, Apple TV+ broadcasted the season finale of their reimagined series, “Time Bandits,” which is based on Terry Gilliam’s 1981 time-travel film. However, just a month later, the streaming platform has decided to discontinue the show. As reported by The A.V. Club, “Time Bandits” has been canceled.

We found Time Bandits, featuring Lisa Kudrow and Kal-El Tuck, delightful with its casual, family-oriented vibe as they embarked on time-traveling heists. However, you might not have come across this series since it didn’t receive much attention despite being created by the talented minds behind shows like What We Do In The Shadows, namely Iain Morris, Taika Waititi, and Jemaine Clement. Given its high production costs due to constructing sets for each era visited by the Time Bandits, it’s not surprising that it has ended production.

Despite being known for investing heavily in expensive sci-fi productions, even if they don’t garner significant success, Apple has taken a different approach with their series. For instance, “For All Mankind” and “Foundation”, both popular sci-fi shows, have completed five and are moving forward with additional seasons respectively, despite not receiving widespread acclaim. Similarly, Apple produced three seasons of the post-apocalyptic series “See”, starring Jason Momoa as a blind warrior chieftain. Given Apple’s substantial financial resources, it allows their shows the time to establish themselves and find their audience.

Unlike the significant investments made in production, marketing budgets for the streamer are often less consistent. This disparity partially explains why expensive series may not generate broader conversation. Notably, Apple’s most successful shows like Ted Lasso, Severance, and Slow Horses have primarily gained traction through positive word of mouth. Interestingly, even in these cases, production costs seem quite high. For instance, the second season of Severance reportedly cost around $20 million per episode.

It appears that the era of excessive spending might be drawing to a close, even for giants such as Apple. They, along with productions like “Time Bandits,” seem to be making adjustments or cuts. Farewell.
