The new road-trip series reunites McGregor with friend and fellow motorbike enthusiast Charley Boorman.

Apple TV+ has ordered a 10-part motorcycle road-trip show, an as-yet-untitled follow-up to the streamer’s Long Way Up, featuring Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman.

The new show will follow the pair on their refurbished, vintage motorbikes as they take a circuitous route over two months from McGregor’s home in Scotland to Boorman’s in England – via Scandinavia, the Arctic Circle and the Baltics and continental Europe.

McGregor and Boorman also exec produce alongside 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! 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 McGregor.

Boorman added: “It has been such a pleasure to get back on the road on motorcycles with my best friend Ewan. 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.”

The ‘Long Way’ franchise had started in the 1990s when the pair made Long Way Round (Sky) and Long Way Down (BBC), with the format revived for Apple TV+ with Long Way Up in 2020.
