Lisa Kudrow is set to headline Taika Waititi's upcoming Apple series, Time Bandits. 

Apart from directing the show, Waititi is also onboard as the co-writer and executive producer. Based on the 1981 Terry Gilliam-directed movie of the same name, Time Bandits follows the time-travelling adventures of an 11-year-old history buff named Kevin who, one night, stumbles on six dwarfs who emerge from his closet.

Waititi's reiteration of Time Bandits also stars Kal-El Tuck, Charlyne Yi, Tadhg Murphy, Roger Jean Nsengiyumva, Rune Temte, Kiera Thompson and Rachel House. 

The 10-episode series, which has been in development since 2019, is co-produced by Paramount Television Studios, Anonymous Content's AC Studios and MRC Television.
