Lisa Kudrow’s Apple TV+ series ‘Time Bandits’ with ‘killer cast’ hailed as ‘absolute delight’ by fans
Lisa Kudrow stars in the first-ever television adaptation of “Time Bandits,” which premiered July 24th on Apple TV+.
“Time Bandits,” starring Friends alum Lisa Kudrow, is an unpredictable journey through time and space with a ragtag group of thieves and their newest recruit: an 11-year-old history buff named Kevin. Together they set out on a thrilling quest to save the boy’s parents — and the world. The 10-episode series premiered globally with the first two episodes on Wednesday, July 24th, and will be followed by two new episodes every Wednesday through August 21, 2024.
Guided by Kudrow, the eccentric crew of bandits embark on epic adventures while evil forces threaten their conquests and life as they know it. As the group is transported through time and space, the gang stumbles upon fascinating worlds of the distant past while seeking out treasure, depending on Kevin to shed light on each situation. The “Time Bandits” witness the creation of Stonehenge, see the Trojan Horse in action, escape dinosaurs in the prehistoric age, wreak havoc during medieval times, experience the Ice Age, ancient civilizations and the Harlem Renaissance, and much more along the way.
Apple TV enthusiasts are applauding the release of the first two episodes of Time Bandits, a reimagining of a classic film which features a Friends legend.
Spearheaded by director Taika Waititi, Time Bandits is a reimagining of the original 1981 movie.
Viewers took to social media platform X… to express their admiration for the rebooted series. Many lauded the ‘breezy and fun’ nature of the show, while others were captivated by the cast.
