Apple TV+ has announced an all-new 10-episode season of the epic motorcycle adventure series starring and executive produced by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, which reunites best friends for their next great motorbike tour, this time a little closer to home.
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.

“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,” said executive producer and star Ewan McGregor.”
The series is executive produced by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, alongside longtime collaborators, David Alexanian and Russ Malkin, who also direct.
This new season and ‘Long Way Up’ follow Ewan and Charley’s previous adventures in ‘Long Way Round’ and ‘Long Way Down.’ All three previous seasons are now streaming on Apple TV+.
