Apple has announced a new season of motorcycle adventure series “Long Way,” with Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman starring and executive producing. The 10-episode season will see the duo reunite for another great motorcycle ride, this time a little closer to home. Apple isn’t revealing a specific title for the episode, but is hinting at “Long Way Home.”
“On a rather tricky, sandy stretch of ‘Long Way Up’, Charley and I started dreaming of another trip to take our minds off the scary road that lay ahead!” said Ewan McGregor. “This is that trip. Rusty old bikes and 10,000 miles through Scandinavia and Eastern and Central Europe. A big loop from my house in Scotland to Charley’s house in England. The long way home… magical.”
“It was a great pleasure to be on motorcycles again with my best friend Ewan,” said Charley Boorman. “We have been talking about doing this trip on old motorcycles since the last trip. Traveling through Scandinavia and Europe on our beautiful motorcycles was great fun.”
The new series follows Ewan and Charley on lovingly restored vintage motorbikes from Ewan’s home in Scotland to Charley’s home in England – but instead of taking the shortest route, they take the long one! They ride across the North Sea to Scandinavia, all the way to the Arctic Circle and then down to the Baltics and through continental Europe before finally heading back across the English Channel two months later. It’s an adventure that takes them to more than fifteen countries, through spectacular scenery and along some of the world’s greatest driving roads. Along the way, they immerse themselves in the culture of each country, meet the locals and try their hand at unique and varied activities.
McGregor and Boorman serve as executive producers of the series, along with their longtime collaborators David Alexanian and Russ Malkin, who also direct.
Long Way Up follows Ewan and Charley’s previous adventures in Long Way Round and Long Way Down. All three previous seasons are available to stream now on Apple TV+.
