Today, Apple TV+ announced a third season renewal for the multi-award-winning travel series The Reluctant Traveler With Eugene Levy, hosted and executive produced by Emmy Award winner Eugene Levy (Schitt’s Creek).
The eight-episode third season will follow Levy on a global adventure as he attempts to curate his ‘ultimate travel bucket list.’ If he’s to inch closer to becoming a real traveler, he’ll need to tick off some of the world’s must-do experiences.
