Time Bandits has been piquing interest even after its conclusion. The comedy-drama series narrates the journey of an 11-year-old curious boy named Kevin, whose boring life takes a turn when a group of comical bandits land at his doorstep. Soon, the thieves join hands with the young boy to track down his lost parents. Ever since the series came to an end, fans wish to find out whether there’s a Time Bandits Season 2 release date.
Here’s all the Time Bandits Season 2 release date information we know so far, and all the details on whether it is coming out or not.
Is there a Time Bandits Season 2 release date?
No, Time Bandits Season 2 isn’t happening because the show has been canceled by the makers.
While the show managed to get a decent rating from some critics, it failed to gain impressions among the general audience. Time Bandits was an interesting combination of fantasy and comedy based on the 1981 film of the same name. However, it seems the masses didn’t find the content appealing. One of the reasons might be the show appeals to kids more than every section of the audience.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, one of the Time Bandits creators Taika Waititi addressed the show’s cancellation, citing huge production costs. He stated:
“This is a show that lasted one glorious season. Why didn’t it have another season, Taika, tell us, tell us! Alright, I’ll tell you. Too expensive. My favorite thing about this show was that we got to shoot in New Zealand. If you ever get a chance to come to New Zealand, don’t. We don’t want you.”
For the unaware, in the past, many streaming platforms have canceled shows after they failed to garner viewership or massive hype. Time Bandits fell into the same category despite promising storytelling and impressionable performances.
