The boys are back at it. Join Ewan McGregor, Charley Boorman, and their two vintage bikes on an epic journey across Europe.
“Long Way Home” follows Ewan and Charley as they ride refurbished vintage motorbikes from Ewan’s home in Scotland to Charley’s in England — but rather than take the shortest route, they go the long way! They head across the North Sea to Scandinavia, all the way up to the Arctic Circle and then down to the Baltics and through continental Europe, before eventually hopping back over the English Channel two months later. It’s an adventure that will take them to more than fifteen countries, through spectacular scenery and along some of the greatest driving roads in the world. Along the way they’ll immerse themselves in each country’s culture, meet the locals and try their hand at unique and eclectic activities.
The Emmy Award-nominated series is executive produced by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, alongside longtime collaborators David Alexanian and Russ Malkin, who also direct. The new “Long Way” season follows Ewan and Charley’s previous adventures in “Long Way Round,” “Long Way Down” and “Long Way Up,” now streaming on Apple TV+.

00:00My name is Ewan McGregor.
00:02And for the last 20 years, my best friend Charlie Berman and I have travelled to some of the farthest corners of the world.
00:08Yet we've never properly explored the countries on our own doorstep.
00:12So this time, Europe is our playground.
00:15And we're doing the journey on vintage temperamental 50-year-old bikes.
00:21I just love them to death.
00:23I shouldn't say that. Motorbikes are dangerous enough as it is, you know what I mean?
00:27It's great to be back on the road again.
00:33Travel up through the vast Nordic countries.
00:38I've got splinter in my bum.
00:39Do you want me to have a look?
00:41In the tent later, the tweezers.
00:43And into the Arctic Circle.
00:45It's bloody freezing.
00:46Down to the beautiful Baltics in Eastern Europe.
00:49Look at that view!
00:51Before winding our way through the Alps and across France.
00:54We've got about seven and a half thousand miles, but these roads are dangerous.
01:00Are you okay?
01:01No, I'm good. I'm good. I'm mad.
01:02Had a little crash. I just lost control.
01:05We're gonna find some metal worker who can fix my bike.
01:09It's the international thing. If it doesn't fit, hammer it. It always works.
01:13When you explore the world, it makes you feel so connected to the people and to the culture.
01:24These unique experiences will stay with you forever.
01:29Oh my God, look at this.
01:31Smelled so delicious.
01:32Just leave me here, guys. Enjoy the rest of the trip.
01:35We should be, we should probably be naked for this.
01:45Ha, ha, ha.
01:46Ha, ha!
01:47Ha, ha, ha!
01:48Ha, ha, ha!
01:49You
