Co-created by Taika Waititi, Jemaine Clement, and Dan Mazer, with Clement and Mazer also serving as co-showrunners, ‘Time Bandits’ is set to offer a fresh take on the beloved original film.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, executive producers include Clement, Waititi, Mazer, Garrett Basch, Tim Coddington, and Jane Stanton, representing Handmade Films, the production house behind the original ‘Time Bandits’ by Terry Gilliam.
