Long Way Home Trailer: Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman Rev Up for an Epic European Adventure

The highly anticipated Long Way Home trailer, starring Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman has finally dropped, igniting excitement among adventure and motorcycle enthusiasts worldwide.


Premiering on Apple TV+ on May 9, 2025, this 10-episode series follows the duo as they embark on a thrilling journey across Europe on refurbished vintage bikes. Fans of their previous Long Way series are in for a treat as the best friends take the scenic route from Scotland to England, covering over 15 countries.





What Is Long Way Home About?


The series follows Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman riding from McGregor’s home in Scotland to Boorman’s in England.


Instead of the direct route, they opt for a 10,000-mile detour through Scandinavia, the Arctic Circle, the Baltics, and continental Europe. The journey, captured over two months, showcases stunning landscapes and some of the world’s best driving roads.


Who Are Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman?


Ewan McGregor, a Scottish actor known for roles in Star Wars and Trainspotting, is also a passionate motorbike enthusiast. Charley Boorman, a British presenter and actor, has been McGregor’s riding partner since their first collaboration in 2004.


The duo has previously completed Long Way Round, Long Way Down, and Long Way Up, documenting their global adventures.


What Makes This Series Different from Their Previous Adventures?


Unlike their past trips, which spanned continents like Asia and South America, Long Way Home focuses on Europe, bringing the journey closer to home.


The pair rides vintage motorbikes, adding a nostalgic challenge. Executive producers McGregor, Boorman, David Alexanian, and Russ Malkin aim to blend adventure with personal storytelling.


Why Are Fans So Excited About the Trailer Release?


The trailer, released on April 9, 2025, has sparked buzz for its breathtaking visuals of European landscapes and the duo’s camaraderie.


Social media reactions show fans thrilled to see McGregor and Boorman back together.


The series also comes after a year of hard work, as Boorman shared, adding to the anticipation.


How Does Long Way Home Fit into Apple TV+’s Lineup?


Apple TV+ has been expanding its catalog with award-winning content like Ted Lasso and Severance.


Long Way Home joins other adventure-focused series, appealing to viewers who love travel and real-life storytelling. The platform’s current subscription deal—$2.99/month for three months—makes it an ideal time for new viewers to tune in.


What Challenges Did the Duo Face During Filming?


McGregor and Boorman rode refurbished vintage bikes, which presented mechanical challenges.


The route included tricky terrains, from sandy paths to Arctic conditions. Boorman’s past injuries, including a 2016 accident that left him with a limp, add a layer of resilience to their journey.


Some Closing Thoughts:


Long Way Home promises to be a thrilling addition to Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman’s legacy of epic motorcycle journeys, blending adventure, friendship, and stunning visuals.


Mark your calendars for May 9, 2025, and get ready to ride along with the duo on Apple TV+. This European odyssey is one you won’t want to miss.
