Lisa Kudrow is worlds away (quite literally) from Phoebe Buffay in her new role in Apple TV+\u2019s Time Bandits, which has dropped its first trailer.<\/p>\n

Kudrow stars as Penelope in the new series based on Terry Gilliam\u2019s 1981 film, the leader of a group of bandits who is reluctantly joined on her travels across time and space by a history-obsessed boy played by young actor Kal-El Tuck.<\/p>\n

The trailer for the series shows young Kevin feeling isolated from his friends and family and turning to history for comfort. Only one day, his obsession with the past turns a little too real when he steps into his wardrobe and literally into the past.<\/p>\n

We discover that Kevin\u2019s bedroom is a \u201ctime egress\u201d which allows Penelope and her \u201ccrack team of expert thieves\u201d to travel the universe.<\/p>\n\n<p>But, as Taika Waititi\u2019s Supreme Being warns, there\u2019s a map that can\u2019t fall into the wrong hands and a creature who wants to create a universe of \u201cpure evil\u201d (played by Jemaine Clement).<\/p>\n<p>Plus, it looks like Kevin\u2019s parents are in serious danger while Kevin goes on his jollies, with fire being blasted at the pair of them.<\/p> <div>\n<p>The original 1981 movie starred Gilliam\u2019s Monty Python collaborators John Cleese and Michael Palin, as well as Shelley Duvall and James Bond actor Sean Connery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Gilliam is not involved in the 2024 series, with Waititi creating the series with Clement and Iain Morris.<\/p>\n<p>The 10-episode series also stars Charlyne Yi, Tadhg Murphy, Roger Jean Nsengiyumva, and Rune Temte and is scheduled for release later this month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Time Bandits will begin on Apple TV+ on 24th July.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"editor-content mb-lg hidden-print js-piano-locked-content\" data-placement=\"Body\">\n<div class=\"layout-md-rail__primary\">\n<div class=\"post__content\">\n<div class=\"editor-content mb-lg hidden-print js-piano-locked-content\" data-placement=\"Body\">\n<div>\n<p><strong>Check out more of our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sci-Fi<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a title=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Streaming Guide<\/a>\u00a0to see what\u2019s on tonight.\u00a0<\/strong><strong>For more from the biggest stars in TV, listen to\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/audio\/podcasts\/\"><strong>The Radio Times Podcast<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div> <\/body><\/html>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The Apple TV+ series sees Lisa Kudrow lead a “crack team” of bandits. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":54571,"template":"","categories":[1,5],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/friends-star-thieves-through-time-in-trailer-for-taika-waititis-time-bandits-scaled.jpg",2560,1707,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/friends-star-thieves-through-time-in-trailer-for-taika-waititis-time-bandits-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/friends-star-thieves-through-time-in-trailer-for-taika-waititis-time-bandits-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/friends-star-thieves-through-time-in-trailer-for-taika-waititis-time-bandits-768x512.jpg",768,512,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/friends-star-thieves-through-time-in-trailer-for-taika-waititis-time-bandits-1024x683.jpg",800,534,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/friends-star-thieves-through-time-in-trailer-for-taika-waititis-time-bandits-1536x1024.jpg",1536,1024,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/07\/friends-star-thieves-through-time-in-trailer-for-taika-waititis-time-bandits-2048x1365.jpg",2048,1365,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"The Apple TV+ series sees Lisa Kudrow lead a \"crack team\" of bandits.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/54570"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54571"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54570"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54570"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
