Every episode filmed so far will not see the light of day. The second season of an acclaimed Apple TV+ series has been cancelled despite almost finishing production. The Independent can confirm that The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin, starring Noel Fielding, has ceased filming.

Season two was said to be three-quarters of the way through its shoot before production ground to a halt. An official reason for the cancellation is yet to be provided. Rather than push ahead with the remainder of the season, Apple has scrapped the show altogether, meaning everything that was filmed so far will not see the light of day.
The Mighty Boosh comedy star, who also hosts The Great British Bake Off, has declined to comment. The Independent has contacted Apple. Created by Claire Downes, Ian Jarvis and Stuart Lane, The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin became a low-key hit for the service after debuting in March 2024, and a follow-up season was commissioned in July.
Season two of the absurdist historical comedy, a retelling of the life of the 18th-century highwayman, was set to welcome back cast members including Hugh Bonneville, Mark Heap, Ellie White and Dolly Wells. New episodes were set to include “a host of great British comedy talent” following season one cameos from Greg Davies, Diane Morgan and Jessica Hynes.
