Those of you looking forward to the Apple TV+ series Long Way Up starring Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, are sure to enjoy this quick teaser trailer released by Apple as they travel through South and Central America.
The new series will follow Ewan and Charley 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.
The Journey and Its Challenges
The adventure is not just a simple road trip; it is a monumental expedition that covers 13,000 miles over 100 days. The journey includes 16 border crossings and traverses 13 countries, starting from the city of Ushuaia at the southern tip of South America. This route takes them through some of the most breathtaking and underexposed landscapes of South and Central America. The series promises to showcase the diverse cultures, stunning scenery, and the unique challenges that come with such an ambitious journey.
One of the most intriguing aspects of “Long Way Up” is the use of cutting-edge technology. Ewan and Charley will be riding prototype electric Harley-Davidsons, a choice that aligns with their commitment to sustainability. These electric bikes are not only a testament to modern engineering but also a statement about the future of travel and the importance of reducing our carbon footprint. The electric Rivians used by their support team further emphasize this commitment to eco-friendly travel.
Behind the Scenes
The series is not just about the journey but also about the people who make it possible. Directors David Alexanian and Russ Malkin are longtime collaborators with Ewan and Charley, having worked together on previous adventures like “Long Way Round” and “Long Way Down.” Their expertise and experience are invaluable in navigating the logistical challenges of such a massive undertaking. The support team, riding in electric Rivians, plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and success of the expedition.
The first three episodes of “Long Way Up” will premiere globally on Apple TV+ on Friday, September 18th, 2020, and new episodes will roll out weekly thereafter. This staggered release schedule allows viewers to savor each episode and follow the journey in real-time, building anticipation and engagement.

The series is expected to be a visual treat, capturing the essence of the diverse landscapes and cultures they encounter.
