Time Bandits takes the thieving time-hoppers onto the small screen in a new Apple TV+ show.

Based on the 1981 Terry Gilliam adventure movie, the Apple TV+ show comes from the mind of Jemaine Clement, Iain Morris, and Taika Waititi. A mix of fantasy, adventure, and sci-fi, Time Bandits arrived in 2024 to positive reviews.

Although Season 2 hasn’t been given the go-ahead just yet, Season 1 has so far been praised as a lighthearted family adventure. As such, it deserves to be on your radar as one of the more fantastical TV shows out now.

Here’s a full breakdown of the Time Bandits release schedule, including the synopsis of each episode and where you can watch it all.
