Time Bandits Cancellation: Netflix Ends the Adventure After One Season
[Date: March 10, 2023]
In a shocking move, Netflix has decided to cancel its highly anticipated fantasy series, Time Bandits, after just one season. The show, which premiered on December 25, 2021, has been met with mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike.
The eight-episode series was a loose adaptation of the 1981 film of the same name, written and directed by Terry Gilliam. The show followed the adventures of a young boy named Jonathan, who discovers a map that allows him to travel through time and space with a group of eccentric characters, including the enigmatic Randall, Fender, and Wancan.
Despite its initial buzz, Time Bandits struggled to find its footing, with many critics describing it as "confusing" and "disjointed." The show’s ratings also took a hit, with the finale drawing a mere 2.5 million viewers, a significant drop from its debut episode.
In a statement, Netflix said, "We appreciate the creativity and passion of the cast and crew, but ultimately, we have decided not to move forward with a second season."
The cancellation is a major blow to the show’s creators, writer and showrunner Lauren Dark, and executive producers Matt Charman and Bill Block. The trio had big plans for the series, which was intended to explore themes of time travel, friendship, and growing up.
Fans of the show are taking to social media to express their disappointment, with many calling for the show to be saved or for Netflix to reconsider its decision.
