After a wild ride that took its characters on an unforgettable journey, thenew seriesTime Banditsis wrapping up its debut season. Before the series goes on hiatus, though, there are a couple more episodes to enjoy asApple TV+will release the final two episodes this Wednesday. To tease fans, the streamer teamed up with Collider to unveil a sneak peek from the next episode that features a pivotal moment in the story.
In the sneak peek, the group of adventurers is looking for their next portal whilestill searching for the missing piece of their precious map. At a beach, for a second they think they’ve finally found a portal, but it turns out to be something else entirely — a massive presence in the water that’snone other than Poseidon himself, the ruler of the seas. Understandably, they’re all pretty worked up about it, but Kevin (Kal-El Tuck) sees an opportunity for dialogue with the ancient being.
Not that trying to negotiate with agiant Greek godis exactly the best idea, but the boy knows that he needs to at least try if he really wants to save his parents. As Penelope (Lisa Kudrow) says, however, you may’t reason with Poseidon because “he has a god complex.” Surprisingly, Kevin stands his ground and challenges the entity. To see what happens next, we’ll have to check out the episode when it debuts tomorrow.
Season 2 of ‘Time Bandits’ Is Already In The Works — But There’s a Catch
Fans ofTime Banditsknow that there’s certainly fuel for more seasons in the series, but of course, this all depends on what Apple decides following the finale. This week,during an interview with Collider’s Christina Radish, series co-creatorsTaika WaititiandJemaine Clementrevealed that they already have a plan mapped out for Season 2 in case the streamer decides to bring them back for another run, but for the next couple of months they’re keeping their expectations at bay:
“We’re mapping out a Season 2. It depends on whether people watch it and like it, and whether it’s financially worth it for Apple to make another one. We’ll know a couple of months into it. But we are writing it at the moment, and yeah, there are more places and more characters and more guest stars and more costumes and all those things.”
Time Banditsisbased on the 1981movie that starredSean Connery(The Rock),Shelley Duval(The Shining), andJohn Cleese(Monty Python’s Flying Circus), and Waititi also told Collider that he never wanted the series to be a “carbon copy” of the movie because the original story was a little too dark for kids and theThor: Love and Thunderdirector wanted the new adaptation to be a lot more family-friendly.
