Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman hit the road, again, for season two of Apple TV+’s Long Way Up. The streamer announced the Emmy nominated series is returning for a 10-episode season that will find the buddies traveling from Scotland to England while taking a circuitous route.
“On a rather tricky, sandy bit of Long Way Up, Charley and I started to daydream about another trip to keep our minds off the scary road at hand! This is that trip. Rusty old bikes and 10,000 miles of Scandinavia, and Eastern and Central Europe. A big loop from my house in Scotland to Charley’s house in England. Long way home…magic,” stated executive producer and star Ewan McGregor.
Long Way Up premiered on September 18, 2020. Apple TV+ hasn’t announced when season two will launch.
“It has been such a pleasure to get back on the road on motorcycles with my best friend Ewan. We’ve talked about doing this trip on old bikes since the last one. Traveling around Scandinavia and Europe has been a blast on our beautiful bikes,” added executive producer and star Charley Boorman.
Season one earned Emmy nominations in the Outstanding Travel, Adventure and Nature Program; Outstanding Sound Mixing and Editing; and, Outstanding Multiple Camera Editing categories. It currently stands at 100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.
Apple TV+ offered this description of season two:
“The new season follows Ewan and Charley as they ride vintage, lovingly refurbished motorbikes from Ewan’s home in Scotland to Charley’s in England, but rather than take the shortest route, they go the long way! They head across the North Sea to Scandinavia, all the way up to the Arctic Circle and then down to the Baltics, through continental Europe, before eventually hopping back over the English Channel two months later.
It’s an adventure that will take them to more than fifteen countries, through spectacular scenery and along some of the greatest driving roads in the world. Along the way they’ll immerse themselves in each country’s culture, meet the locals, and try their hand at unique and eclectic activities.”
David Alexanian and Russ Malkin executive produce and direct season two.
