MGM+’s Robin Hood has added three key players to the ensemble for season two. The expanded roster of series stars was announced as filming on the new season gets underway at PFI Studios in Serbia.
Season one starred Jack Patten as Rob, Lauren McQueen as Marian, Sean Bean as the Sheriff of Nottingham, Lydia Peckham as Priscilla of Nottingham, Steven Waddington as the Earl of Huntingdon, and Connie Nielsen as Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine. Season two’s just-announced cast includes
- James Purefoy as King Henry, the formidable monarch whose ruthless vision for England sets the season’s events into motion;
- Colin O’Donoghue as Prince Richard, Henry’s eldest son and rightful heir whose fate threatens to plunge the kingdom into civil war;
- Luke Roberts as Amaury D’Montfort, an ambitious Norman nobleman whose political aspirations place him at the center of Nottingham’s growing power struggle.
MGM+ offers this description of the new season: “Season two of Robin Hood two expands the world beyond Sherwood and Nottingham into the treacherous courts of England, France, and Rome, transforming the outlaw rebellion into a high-stakes battle for the soul of a kingdom.
As the Angevin empire threatens to tear itself apart, Rob and Marian are drawn into the orbit of kings and queens, forced to wield the very instruments of Norman power—politics, gold, and betrayal—to secure a future for the Saxons. What begins as a fight for survival becomes a reckoning with power itself. Sweeping in scope yet intimate in emotion, Season two deepens the romance, sharpens the rivalries, and reimagines the legend as a prestige drama about love, legacy, and the price of becoming history.”
John Glenn guides season two as showrunner and Jonathan English directs. Glenn, English, and Hidden Pictures’ Todd Lieberman are the executive producers.
“MGM+, Lionsgate, and Todd have been extraordinary partners—fearless in backing our vision of this classic legend,” stated Glenn and English. “Their support has allowed us to expand the world in season two in a way that feels both epic and intimate. We’re thrilled and grateful to continue the journey with a team that believes in our ambition for where this story can go and in delivering a season that will connect with audiences in an even more powerful way.”
