If you thought Free to Air was a tough environment things can be even more harsh in the streaming world.
Apple TV is not proceeding with a second season of Time Bandits -which had its finale less than a month ago on the streaming service.
It was a big budget fantasy which, according to Deadline, did not attract al arge enough audience and was not able to crack Nielsen’s Top 10 streaming rankings. On Rotten Tomatoes it carries a 78% fresh critic rating.
The series, based on the Terry Gilliam movie of the same name, was created for television by Jemaine Clement (Flight of the Conchords), Iain Morris (The Inbetweeners) and Taika Waititi (Hunt for the Wilderpeople), and produced by Paramount Television Studios, Anonymous Content’s AC Studios and MRC.
