The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin might be no more.

Season 2 of the Apple TV+ historical comedy has shut down, according to our sister site Deadline, due to Noel Fielding’s alleged failure to report to work. The new season was three months into shooting after announcing its renewal in July 2024, and is reported to not be salvageable after Fielding’s exit.
