To all the fans wondering if there will be another season of 'Time Bandits', the answer is, yes, there will be a second season of Time Bandits! Jemaine Clement, co-creator of the show, revealed in an interview with Collider that he and Taika Waititi are already working on the script for Season 2.

However, the creation of Season 2 hinges on the success of the first season. The creators have also noted that they aim to reinvent the TV series, avoiding a mere carbon copy of the film and instead bringing it into a more modern context. The original film had a darker tone, but this version is likely more accessible to families in 2024.

We can expect more places, characters, guest stars, costumes, and all those things in 'Time Bandits' Season 2. Let's hope the first season does well, so we can get more of this amazing show!
