New Ewan McGregor & Charley Boorman Motorbike Series

Apple TV+ has ordered another motorbike adventure series with Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman.

Like the previous series, Long Way Round (2004), Long Way Down (2007) and Long Way Up (2020), the new one will follow the duo as they go on an adventure riding motorbikes. This time, they will travel on refurbished vintage bikes from McGregor’s home in Scotland to Boorman’s in England by taking a long route up through Scandinavia, down through the Baltics and across continental Europe.

They will travel to more than 15 countries and will immerse themselves in each country’s culture, meet the locals and try their hand at unique and eclectic activities along the way.

The new series is executive produced by McGregor and Boorman, alongside longtime collaborators David Alexanian and Russ Malkin, who also direct.

“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!” McGregor said. “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,” Boorman added. “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.”
