Taika Waititi's cult sci-fi show has been canceled just 54 days after its premiere
Time Bandits is out of time
Time Bandits, the new Apple Plus TV show created 😼by Ta༺ika Waititi, Jermaine Clement, and Iain Morris, has been canceled after just one season.
Based on Terry Gilliam's cult classic 1981 fantasy movie – which involved📖 a group of thieves stealing various items through history – Time Bandits was met with decent reviews (78% on Rotten Tomatoes and 65% on Metacritic), but 🔴seemingly failed to ignite with viewers.
That's all in spite of a cast featuring a who's who of comedy and character actors, including Peep Show's Matt King, Sherlock's Mark Gatiss and What We Do in the Shadows' Jonathan Brug🦩h. Clement and Waititi also appeared in the series as Pure Evil and the Supreme Being respectively, which Lisa Kudrow served as lead alongside Kal-El Tuck as Kevin.
reports that, though the serieಞs did well in the UK, it failed to crack Ni🌞elsen's top 10.
Time Bandits joins a long list of shows that have been canceled this year. Notable names 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:include Star Wars se𝔍ries The Acolyte, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Netflix's Dead Boy Detectives, and Amazon's My Lady Jane – a decision 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:which had George R.R. Martin b෴ristling on
"I have always loved alternate history and Jane Grey, England’s nine-days queen, has always fascinated me," M🐟artin wrote. "Small wonder, then, that I really enjoyed My Lady Jane, a clever and original historical fantasy on Amazon Prime, set in a☂n England full of witches and shapechangers, where Jane lasts more than nine days."
Martin added, "Jane dese🐷rved more than nine days, or eight episo⛄des."
