Shocking Twist: Noel Fielding’s Absence Causes Apple TV+ to Ax Highly Anticipated Series!

It appears that Apple TV+ has reportedly cancelled the second season of the show, despite it being nearly completed. The reason for the termination remains unclear, but rumors suggest it may be due to the lead actor and scriptwriter failing to return to set after the holiday break.

According to reports from “The Sun,” even though the series is nearly finished, Fielding’s departure is being described as making the situation “irrecoverable.” Apple TV has opted to terminate the remaining episodes because of this, citing the illness of a crucial cast member as the reason. The source within the production team stated the following to the publication:

The team was clearly taken aback and enraged by the sudden announcement since the shoe exhibition demanded millions of pounds, countless hours of planning, and endless labor. Now, it appears that they are all jobless and searching for new opportunities, but they haven’t received a comprehensive explanation yet. Predictably, gossip is running rampant about Noel’s situation, but whatever transpired must have been extremely grave to cancel the entire show outright. In usual situations, executives might at least think about postponing production, but for some reason they chose to call it quits before things worsened.

There’s been speculation that Fielding is the main actor for the upcoming season of “The Great British Bake Off”. However, some sources claim he’s currently abroad in France, but these reports are unverified. Nonetheless, it’s anticipated that he will start filming soon for the new series.

What was ‘The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin’ About?

The introduction for the discontinued series described Dick Turpin, a famed British highwayman whose charisma, flair, and striking hair were keys to his success. Alongside his band of misfits, he embarks on fresh escapades, always attempting to elude the grasp of a bounty hunter.

In the initial run of the show this year, Fielding received much acclaim for his contributions. The program garnered positive reviews, earning an 84% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, akin to the wit of timeless British comedies like Monty Python’s Flying Circus. While audiences were somewhat divided, with some finding the humor repetitive and dull, the majority still found it enjoyable enough to give it a 78% audience score.

The second season of “The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin” was quickly renewed, with filming starting towards the end of 2024, except for a brief halt during the holiday season. However, Fielding’s delayed return this month has apparently resulted in the entire series being abandoned, which is quite unexpected as such issues typically cause production delays rather than immediate cancellations. At present, no additional details have been disclosed, and neither Fielding nor Apple TV+ have issued a statement explaining the situation.
