Apple TV+ has released a trailer for The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin, the upcoming comedy adventure series which stars The Mighty Boosh’s Noel Fielding as the legendary British highwayman and follows the wild escapades of the 18th century thief and his loveable band of outlaws; watch it below…
In “The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin,” Dick Turpin (Noel Fielding) sets out on a journey of wildly absurd escapades when he’s made the reluctant leader of a band of outlaws — and tasked with outwitting corrupt lawman and self-appointed thief-taker Jonathan Wilde (Hugh Bonneville). In this irreverent retelling set in the 18th century, Turpin is the most famous but least likely of highway robbers, whose success is defined mostly by his charm, showmanship and great hair. Together with his gang of lovable rogues, Turpin rides the highs and lows of his new endeavors, including a brush with celebrity, all whilst trying to escape the clutches of the thief-taker.
Joining Fielding in the cast are Ellie White, Marc Wootton, Duayne Boachie, Hugh Bonneville, Tamsin Greig, Asim Chaudhry, Dolly Wells, Joe Wilkinson, Mark Heap, Geoff McGivern, Michael Fielding, Samuel Leakey, and Kiri Flaherty.
The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin premieres on Apple TV+ on March 1st.
