The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin Renewed at Apple TV+
More completely made-up adventures await Dick Turpin, now that Apple TV+ has renewed the Noel Fielding-led comedy for Season 2.
In The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin, Fielding (The Mighty Boosh, The Great British Bake Off) stars as “the most famous but least likely of highway robbers, whose success is defined mostly by his charm, showmanship and great hair.” Together with a gang of lovable rogues, Turpin rides the highs and lows of his new endeavors, including a brush with celebrity.

The Season 1 cast also included Ellie White, Marc Wootton, Hugh Bonneville, Duayne Boachie, Tamsin Greig, Asim Chaudhry, Joe Wilkinson, Mark Heap, Geoff McGivern, Michael Fielding, Kiri Flaherty, Samuel Leakey and Dolly Wells.
The six-episode first season was released throughout March of this year.
Ahead of Dick Turpin‘s debut, Fielding admitted to TVLine that, following the success of The Mighty Boosh comedy troupe (which he co-founded with Julian Barratt) and their eponymous BBC TV series, he found it “very difficult to do comedy,” noting, “I don’t think we realized how lucky we were until afterwards. They gave us complete creative freedom to do what we wanted.”
But eventually Fielding found fresh inspiration in Dick Turpin.
“It felt like the period costume aspect of this freed me up, and it sort of took it away from any comparisons to The Boosh,” he explained.
