Apple TV+ announced today the global premiere date for The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin, a new comedy series starring Noel Fielding.
New comedy series The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin stars British Comedy Awards nominee Noel Fielding (The Mighty Boosh, The Great British Baking Show) in the titular role of the legendary British highwayman.
Costarring in the ensemble cast are Ellie White (The Windsors), Marc Wootton (High & Dry), Duayne Boachie (Blue Story), Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey), Tamsin Greig (Episodes), Asim Chaudhry (The Sandman), Dolly Wells (The Outlaws), Joe Wilkinson (Sex Education), Mark Heap (Friday Night Dinner), Geoff McGivern (Free Rein), Michael Fielding (The Mighty Boosh), Samuel Leakey (Gretel & Hansel), and Kiri Flaherty (Blood).
Set in the 18th century, this irreverent retelling of Dick Turpin’s story sees Turpin as the most famous but least likely of highway robbers, whose success is defined mostly by his charm, showmanship, and great hair. After being made the reluctant leader of a gang of lovable rogues, Turpin sets out on a journey of wildly absurd escapades with them and rides the highs and lows of his new endeavors, including a brush with celebrity — all while trying to outwit and escape the clutches of corrupt lawman and self-appointed thief-taker Jonathan Wilde (Hugh Bonneville).
The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin premieres globally with the first two episodes on Friday, March 1, 2024, exclusively on Apple TV+, followed by a new episode every Friday through March 29.
Produced by Apple TV+ and Big Talk Studios, part of ITV Studios, the series is created by Claire Downes, Ian Jarvis, and Stuart Lane, and written by Jon Brittain, Richard Naylor, Claire Downes, Ian Jarvis, and Stuart Lane, along with Noel Fielding. The series is executive produced by Big Talk Studios’ Kenton Allen and Victoria Grew, Noel Fielding, and Ben Palmer. Episodes One to Three are directed by Palmer (The Inbetweeners) and Episodes Four to Six are directed by George Kane (Timewasters).
