MGM+ has officially announced the Season 2 renewal of one of its newest popular adventure drama shows led by Game of Thrones vet Sean Bean. This comes nearly two months after Robin Hood Season 1 concluded its 10-episode run, which garnered an approval rating of 77% on Rotten Tomatoes.
“Robin Hood quickly became one of our top-performing original series of all time, and the response from our audiences both in the U.S. and abroad has been exceptional,” MGM+ boss Michael Wright said in a statement. “We’re thrilled to continue this epic adventure for a second season. John Glenn, Jonathan English, and the entire creative team have reimagined this legendary tale with remarkable depth and authenticity, and we can’t wait to see where they take us next.”
What do we know about Sean Bean’s Robin Hood Season 2?
Production on Robin Hood Season 2 is scheduled to begin this summer in Serbia at PFI Studios. The next installment will take viewers to different locations beyond Sherwood and Nottingham. The show stars Jack Patten as Rob, Lauren McQueen as Marian, 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.
“The next installment 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,” reads Season 2’s official synopsis. “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.”
Described as a modern take on the classic folk tale, the series is written and executive-produced by showrunner John Glenn and Jonathan English, with the latter also set to serve as a director. It is executive-produced by Todd Lieberman for Hidden Pictures, with Carly Kleinbart and Nicole Bryant overseeing the project. It is a production by Lionsgate Television.
Glenn and English added, “MGM+, Lionsgate, and Todd have been extraordinary partners — fearless in backing our vision of this classic legend. Their support has allowed us to expand the world in Season 2 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.”
