Dick Turpin canceled at Apple TV+ after its star actor was unable to continue shooting midway through season 2.

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.

Deadline has since reported that star Noel Fielding, who played the titular character, pulled out of the shoot three-quarters of the way through, and that production company Big Talk Studios has disbanded the cast and crew. RadioTimes.com has reached out to Apple TV+ and to Fielding's representatives for comment.

The Apple TV+ comedy series The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin is supposedly set to return with a season 2 following the solid performance of its first season last year.

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.

The Completely Made-Up Adventures Of Dick Turpin is no more. Season 2 of the Apple TV+ comedy has been shut down after Noel Fielding pulled out around three-quarters of the way through the shoot. The Sun newspaper first reported on Dick Turpin’s demise.
