The Time Bandits TV series is a 2024 reimagining of Terry Gilliam's 1981 cult classic film. This fantasy-adventure series was developed by Taika Waititi, Jemaine Clement, and Iain Morris and premiered on Apple TV+ on July 24, 2024. It features Kevin, an 11-year-old history enthusiast, who joins a quirky group of time-traveling bandits stealing treasures across historical eras. The group includes Lisa Kudrow as Penelope and other notable cast members like Charlyne Yi and Kal-El Tuck.
The show combines humor and historical escapades, blending nostalgia with new storytelling. However, it faced some challenges, including controversy during production and eventual cancellation after its first season.
Episode 3 of Time Bandits (2024), titled "Medieval", takes the characters into a chaotic medieval world. After their escape from the dinosaur era, the Bandits find themselves in a medieval town plagued by famine and terrorized by a tyrannical sheriff. The locals mistake Kevin's triceratops fossil for a dragon skull, leading to the group being hailed as "dragon slayers." However, their hero status quickly complicates matters when the town asks them to confront the sheriff and his soldiers.
The Bandits attempt to avoid the conflict but are caught and imprisoned. During their audience with the sheriff, Kevin exposes his supposed "dragon skull" as a collection of animal parts, undermining the sheriff's credibility. Meanwhile, Penelope becomes obsessed with a medieval tapestry that resembles her ex-fiancé, adding a layer of personal drama. Eventually, the Bandits use clever tricks to escape their predicament, including a surprising intervention involving pterosaur eggs to address the famine.
The episode also advances the subplot with Saffron, who finds herself aboard Madame Chung's ship and later in Troy amidst a battle. Fianna, the mysterious antagonist, continues her pursuit of the Bandits, setting up future conflicts.
