Apple TV debuted the new comedy last year to critical praise, and a quick . Reporting later indicated , however, that the new season had been canceled. Yet Apple just released a surprise new episode of Dick Turpin with no official announcement.

Among recent Apple TV comedy debuts, last year’s The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin was a highlight for the streamer.

But despite securing a season 2 renewal, production troubles quickly emerged behind the scenes.

Earlier this year, The Sun reported that the series’ star, Noel Fielding, had pulled out of the show very abruptly mid-production—possibly due to illness.

It was unclear why the show couldn’t have simply been delayed to a later date. But despite never getting official confirmation from Apple, all reports indicated it had been canceled.

Yet today, with no prior announcement, Apple TV has premiered a brand new episode of the series.

’The Night of the Werebear’ is , listed as the seventh episode in season 1. Although episode 6 is still marked as the season finale.

The episode runs 35 minutes and has this description:

Special episode. When a monster terrorizes Hempstead, Dick and the gang set out to capture the beast and restore peace to the village.

Apple seems to be billing it as a Halloween-themed special episode. But if you’re hoping for more Dick Turpin to come, don’t get too excited. This new episode is likely Turpin’s series finale.

A from British publication Broadcast says that Apple and the series’ creative team made a deal to cut together footage from the previous season 2 shoots into one final episode.

So while Apple has neither confirmed the season 2 cancellation officially, or even said that this new episode is the series finale, by all appearances today’s release is the last we’ll see of Dick Turpin.
