  • Apple TV+ has greenlit another season of Long Way… with Ewan McGregor & Charley Boorman.
  • This marks the fourth instalment of the hit unscripted travel format, which was revived by Apple in 2020 with Long Way Up.
  • Keep an eye out here for more details as they surface.

After Long Way Round, Long Way Down, and Long Way Up, Ewan McGregor is now set to reunite with presenter Charley Boorman (and Apply TV+) to take the 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,” explained McGregor; referencing their 13,000-mile/100-day journey from the tip of South America to Los Angeles on prototype Harley-Davidson LiveWire e-motorcycles.

“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.”

For the uninitiated, this franchise basically revolves around the actor of Star Wars and Trainspotting fame road-tripping with his best mate on a studio’s dime — quite the lucrative gig, if we do say so ourselves. And an absolute dream if you can somehow swing it.

Aside from their South America-Los Angeles run, throughout the noughties, the duo famously rode from London to New York; and Scotland’s John o’Groats to South Africa’s Cape Town.

This time around, as alluded to earlier, they’ll be heading across the North Sea to Scandinavia; stopping by in the Arctic Circle before coming down to the Baltics; traversing continental Europe to eventually hop back over the English Channel two months later.
