If you can’t get enough of medieval period pieces, the MGM+ series “Robin Hood” could be your new favorite TV show.
Set in 1186 England after the Norman invasion, the series centers on Rob Locksley (Jack Patten), a.k.a. Robin Hood. The son of a Saxon forester, Rob joins forces with a Norman noblewoman named Marian (Lauren McQueen) to fight royal corruption.
Rob also assembles a ragtag group of rebel outlaws, including Little John (Marcus Fraser), Will Gamewell (Henry Rowley), Ralph Miller (Erica Ford), and Friar Tuck (Angus Castle-Doughty).
We all know the story of Robin Hood, the legendary archer of English folklore who stole from the rich and gave to the poor. The tale has been adapted into countless other films and TV shows, so what makes the MGM+ series different?
“We wanted it to be original,” director John English told NBC affiliate WTHR. “We wanted it to feel fresh, and I think the original, fresh take that we were really aiming for was to make it feel human, relatable, a little bit more grounded, a little bit more historically accurate than most of the Robin Hoods that we’ve seen.”
The new series stars “Game of Thrones” alum Sean Bean as the Sheriff of Nottingham and “Gladiator” actress Connie Nielsen as Eleanor of Aquitaine. “Robin Hood” showrunner John Glenn told WTHR that it was a “dream” to get such “world-class actors” to sign on.
“We spent a lot of time on those roles and telling the story of the Sheriff of Nottingham, creating a character that you haven’t quite seen before,” Glenn said. “He’s not just this sort of blindly obsessed, rage-filled person just out to get Robin Hood. He’s a loving father, he’s a man who’s trying to maintain order and and keep the peace — to a degree.”
