Apple TV+ has renewed the Noel Fielding-led comedy “The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin” for a second season, promising more whimsical escapades for the charming highway robber. In this series, Fielding portrays Dick Turpin, known for his charisma, showmanship, and impeccable hair, leading a group of endearing misfits through various adventures, including encounters with fame.

The six-episode first season was rolled out gradually over the course of March.
Before the show’s premiere, Fielding shared with TVLine his initial struggles with comedy post-“The Mighty Boosh” era, acknowledging the creative freedom he and Julian Barratt had enjoyed with their previous work.
