Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is the second Time Bandits adaptation — the 1981 Terry Gilliam film was so beloved that fans initially revolted at the casting of 'tall' bandits. The show leans into the height difference as a joke.
The show's cancellation after one season sparked renewed discourse about Apple TV+'s pattern of killing beloved weird comedies (see also: Schmigadoon, The Afterparty's decline). Kevin's arc now hits differently knowing there's no resolution.
