“Robin Hood” has been renewed for Season 2 at MGM+, Variety has learned.
The drama series about the outlaw hero originally debuted on MGM+ in November, with the season finale airing on Dec. 28. Like the first season, the second will consist of 10 episodes. It will begin filming at PFI Studios in Serbia this summer.
Jack Patten stars as Rob, aka Robin Hood, alongside 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.
John Glenn is showrunner and executive producer, along with executive producer and director Jonathan English and executive producer Todd Lieberman of Hidden Pictures. Carly Kleinbart and Nicole Bryant oversee the series for Hidden Pictures. Lionsgate Television is the studio
“MGM+, Lionsgate, and Todd have been extraordinary partners — fearless in backing our vision of this classic legend,” said 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.”
Per MGM+, the second season “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.”
“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,” said Michael Wright, global head of MGM+. “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.”
In addition to premiering on MGM+ in the U.S., “Robin Hood” will be available to MGM+ viewers in the UK, Italy, Germany, Spain, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
“The passionate response to ‘Robin Hood’ is a testament to the creative vision behind the series and to its powerful connection with audiences worldwide,” said Jocelyn Sabo, executive vice president of scripted television development at Lionsgate. “We’re excited to continue our partnership with MGM+ and Todd Lieberman and to support John Glenn, Jonathan English, and the entire creative team as they build on this momentum. The second season will raise the stakes and deepen the emotional journeys at the heart of this enduring story.”
“To be able to continue the world of ‘Robin Hood’ with John, Jonathan and the entire team is a creative dream,” said Lieberman. “Season two reflects the expansion of craftsmanship and artistry that Hidden Pictures is proud to be a part of.”
