The second season of Apple TV+ historical comedy adventure series The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin has been scrapped after lead actor Noel Fielding pulled out of the series.

Noel Fielding's Apple TV+ series 'The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin' Season 2 has ceased production mid-shoot.

The Completely Made-Up Adventures Of Dick Turpin was Apple TV+'s high jinks vehicle for the very best of British comedy talent, but there's nothing whimsical about the series coming to a clattering halt this week.

The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin is not Apple TV+’s first cancellation, but news of the streamer’s cancelled shows doesn’t come with anything like the regularity of Netflix’s culling sprees. That’s in part because Apple TV+ commissions far fewer shows in the first place.

The news follows a report by British tabloid The Sun that titular star Noel Fielding pulled out three-quarters of the way through the shoot.

The Completely Made-Up Adventures Of Dick Turpin is no more. Season 2 of the Apple TV+ comedy has been shut down after Noel Fielding pulled out around three-quarters of the way through the shoot. The Sun newspaper first reported on Dick Turpin’s demise.

The Noel Fielding-starring highwayman comedy The Completely Made-Up Adventures Of Dick Turpin dropped on Apple TV+ last year and it was a fun watch. It didn’t set the world on fire but provided a good showcase of Fielding’s comedic talents.

Noel Fielding has dropped out of his Apple TV+ comedy series The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin due to health issues, forcing production to halt midway through filming its second season.
