With Apple TV+'s recent renewal, the charmingly fictionalized world of Dick Turpin is poised to embark on an even more captivating journey in Season 2. Starring the eccentric Noel Fielding, known for his comic prowess in The Mighty Boosh and The Great British Bake Off, the series delves into the legendary tale of the notorious highwayman. Dubbed as "the most famous but least likely of highway robbers," Turpin's success is not just in his cunning and showmanship, but also in his enviable locks. Joined by a colorful band of mischievous companions, Turpin traverses the treacherous landscape of fame and fortune, encountering both triumphs and tribulations.
The stellar cast of Season 1, comprising Ellie White, Marc Wootton, Hugh Bonneville, and an ensemble of notable talents, left audiences wanting more. After the release of the six-episode first season, which spanned the month of March, anticipation for the next chapter was palpable. Prior to the show's premiere, Fielding confessed to TVLine that following the immense success of The Mighty Boosh, he found it challenging to embark on a new comedy venture. He reminisced, "We didn't realize how fortunate we were to have that level of creative freedom. But with Dick Turpin, the period costumes and setting provided a refreshing departure, distancing it from any comparisons to our previous work." Now, with Season 2 on the horizon, it's clear that Fielding and his team have found a newfound spark of creativity that will undoubtedly lead to even more memorable adventures.
