Apple TV+ has unveiled a first look at Long Way Up, a new motorcycle series, starring and executive produced by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, which reunites best friends after more than a decade since their last motorbike adventure around the world.
The first three episodes will premiere globally on Apple TV+ on Friday, September 18, and new episodes will roll out weekly. Covering 13,000 miles over 100 days through 16 border crossings and 13 countries, starting from the city of Ushuaia at the tip of South America, McGregor and Boorman journey through the glorious and underexposed landscapes of South and Central America, using technology on the backs of their electric Harley-Davidson LiveWires in order to contribute to the sustainability of the planet.
The new series will follow the two as they journey through Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and up through Colombia, Central America and Mexico. Also joining them are their longtime collaborators, directors David Alexanian and Russ Malkin, following them in their electric Rivians.
Long Way Up is a new original series that follows McGregor and Boorman’s previous adventures in Long Way Round and Long Way Down.
