MGM+ has officially announced that its upcoming reimagined Robin Hood series will debut with a two-episode premiere on Sunday, November 2, 2025, at 9/8c. The 10-episode series promises to bring a fresh perspective to the legendary tale, blending historical authenticity with modern energy and romance.
A Modern Take on a Classic Legend
The new series reintroduces Robin Hood as not just an outlaw who robs from the rich to give to the poor, but also as a deeply human leader caught in the political turmoil following the Norman invasion of England.
According to the official description, the show will explore “the epic love story between Rob and a courageous and daring Marian.” As Robin, the son of a Saxon forester, rises to lead a band of rebel outlaws, Marian, the daughter of a Norman lord, infiltrates the court. Together, they work to expose corruption, fight injustice, and strive for peace in a divided land.
This approach aims to balance sweeping romance, psychological depth, and political intrigue, giving audiences a richer and more grounded version of the iconic legend.
The Cast of Robin Hood
The series boasts an impressive lineup of actors blending fresh talent with seasoned performers:
- Jack Patten as Rob (Robin Hood)
- Lauren McQueen (Hollyoaks) as Marian
- Sean Bean (Snowpiercer, Game of Thrones) as the Sheriff of Nottingham
- Lydia Peckham (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes) as Priscilla of Nottingham
- Steven Waddington (Slow Horses) as the Earl of Huntingdon
- Connie Nielsen (Gladiator) as Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine
The combination of rising stars and established names suggests the show will offer both fresh energy and gravitas.
Behind the Scenes
The series is helmed by John Glenn (Hatfields & McCoys, SEAL Team), who serves as showrunner, writer, and executive producer. He is joined by executive producers Jonathan English (who also directs) and Todd Lieberman.
Their goal is to craft a version of Robin Hood that feels both timeless and contemporary, appealing to fans of historical epics and character-driven drama alike.

Along with the premiere date announcement, MGM+ released the first teaser trailer, offering glimpses of the action, romance, and political intrigue to come.
