What Is Robin Hood About?
MGM+’s Robin Hood is a fresh, grounded retelling of the legendary outlaw story set in the aftermath of the Norman Conquest of England in the Middle Ages. Rather than a light-hearted swashbuckler, this version leans hard into authentic period drama — gritty, political, and emotionally driven.
Jack Patten plays Rob, a young Saxon forester’s son who becomes the leader of a band of rebel outlaws fighting against oppression. Lauren McQueen plays Marian, the daughter of a Norman earl, who infiltrates the corrupt Norman courts from within. Together, they form an unlikely alliance to fight royal corruption and bring peace to England — while being relentlessly hunted by the Sheriff of Nottingham, played with commanding menace by the legendary Sean Bean. Connie Nielsen rounds out the cast as the formidable Eleanor of Aquitaine, adding further political intrigue to the series.
The Sheriff isn’t just a villain here — he’s depicted as a brilliant military strategist, a devoted father, and a cousin to King Henry II, making him one of the more fully realized antagonists in recent period drama television.
Why Was It Renewed? The Numbers Speak
The renewal isn’t a surprise — it’s earned. MGM+ head Michael Wright confirmed that Robin Hood became one of the platform’s top-performing original series of all time, with strong audience engagement both domestically and internationally. Lionsgate Television confirmed it delivered one of the most-watched debut seasons in MGM+ history.
Critically, Season 1 landed at 77% on Rotten Tomatoes, with reviewers praising its polished production and Sean Bean’s heavyweight presence. Metacritic scored it 67/100, indicating generally favorable reception.
What to Expect From Season 2
Production will take place at PFI Studios in Serbia — a world-class facility increasingly popular for high-budget international productions. The main cast is expected to return in full, and given how Season 1 concluded — with Robin and Marian’s rebellion gaining momentum — Season 2 should raise the stakes considerably in terms of both political intrigue and open conflict.
The creators have already teased major escalation for the next chapter. With the same 10-episode format and a stronger creative foundation to build on, Season 2 could genuinely cement Robin Hood as one of MGM+’s flagship series.
