Apple TV+ Premieres 'Time Bandits' Series

Apple TV+ released the trailer for the upcoming live-action series 'Time Bandits,' based on the cult classic film, featuring a ragtag group of time-traveling thieves led by Lisa Kudrow as Penelope on a quest to save a boy's parents and the world, premiering globally with ten episodes starting on July 24. The adaptation, created by Jemaine Clement, Iain Morris, and Taika Waititi, explores various historical moments like Stonehenge and the Trojan Horse, with a diverse ensemble cast. While loyal to the source material, the series differentiates itself by not casting actors with dwarfism, a choice criticized by the community for lack of inclusivity and diversity.
