The Completely Made-Up Adventures Of Dick Turpin was Apple TV+'s high jinks vehicle for the very best of British comedy talent, but there's nothing whimsical about the series coming to a clattering halt this week.

The news follows a report by British tabloid The Sun that titular star Noel Fielding pulled out three-quarters of the way through the shoot.

The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin is not Apple TV+’s first cancellation, but news of the streamer’s cancelled shows doesn’t come with anything like the regularity of Netflix’s culling sprees. That’s in part because Apple TV+ commissions far fewer shows in the first place.

Apple TV+ series "The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin," which stars Noel Fielding as the infamous highway bandit, has shut down in the middle of shooting Season 2, Variety has confirmed.

Filming on season two of The Completely Made-Up Adventures Of Dick Turpin was thought to be around three-quarters of the way through.

The Noel Fielding-starring highwayman comedy The Completely Made-Up Adventures Of Dick Turpin dropped on Apple TV+ last year and it was a fun watch. It didn’t set the world on fire but provided a good showcase of Fielding’s comedic talents.

Noel Fielding has dropped out of his Apple TV+ comedy series The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin due to health issues, forcing production to halt midway through filming its second season.
