Apple has announced a new season of the 'Long Way' motorbike adventure series, starring and executive produced by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman. The 10-episode season will see the duo reunited for another great motorbike tour, this time a little closer to home. Apple doesn't specifically announce a title for the installment; however, it hints at 'Long Way Home'.
"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!" said Ewan McGregor. "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."
"It has been such a pleasure to get back on the road on motorcycles with my best friend Ewan," said Charley Boorman. "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."
The new season follows Ewan and Charley as they ride lovingly refurbished vintage 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 and 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.
The series is executive produced by McGregor and Boorman, alongside 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 now streaming on Apple TV+.
