Noel Fielding's 'Dick Turpin' to Get One Final Episode
Dick Turpin will ride once more on Apple TV+, but only once more. According to reports from Broadcast UK (which has been the lead outlet breaking The Completely Made Up Adventures of Dick Turpin news, including the Season 2 renewal and the show's sudden cancellation), Apple TV+ has been looking for a way to recoup its loss since being forced to cancel the second season mid-production after titular star Noel Fielding was too sick to work in the winter of 2025, and, apparently, it has found a compromise with production studio Big Talk to create an ending to the show.
According to the report, "Broadcast understands that when the companies went through all the material which had already been shot before the cancellation, there was enough for a final episode." That footage will be stitched together, and Season 2 will basically follow Good Omens in ending with a single story, though in this case, one that's probably closer to an hour than feature length. (Dick Turpin episodes run in the 22-30 minute range, like most TV comedies, so an episode that's "a slightly longer runtime" is more like 45 minutes than 90.)
The good news for fans of the series is they won't be left high and dry as to the conclusion of the not-exactly-accurate history comedy. However, in terms of Fielding getting a new series after this... well that remains to be seen.
