Bold takeaway: the legendary rogue Rob Robin Hood is getting a bigger, bolder second act, expanding far beyond Sherwood and Nottingham into a full royal theater of power, politics, and passion. And this is the part most people miss: the series isn’t just a rehash of risk and romance—it’s reimagining the legend as a prestige drama about love, legacy, and the price of becoming history.

Robin Hood Renewed for Season 2 at MGM+
The drama series about the outlaw hero has been renewed for a second season at MGM+. Variety reports the news.
Robin Hood originally premiered on MGM+ in November, with the season finale airing December 28. Like its first run, Season 2 will consist of 10 episodes and will begin filming at PFI Studios in Serbia this summer.
Returning cast members include Jack Patten as Rob, also known as Robin Hood, with Lauren McQueen as Marian, Sean Bean portraying 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.
Showrunner John Glenn collaborates with executive producer and director Jonathan English, and executive producer Todd Lieberman of Hidden Pictures, along with Hidden Pictures’ Carly Kleinbart and Nicole Bryant. Lionsgate Television serves as the studio.
The team expressed gratitude for MGM+, Lionsgate, and Todd Lieberman, emphasizing the partners’ willingness to back their vision. They stated the collaboration has enabled a broader Season 2 world that remains epic yet intimate, and they look forward to delivering a season that resonates even more powerfully with audiences.
Per MGM+, Season 2 expands beyond Sherwood and Nottingham to explore courts in England, France, and Rome. The outlaw rebellion evolves into a high-stakes struggle over the soul of a kingdom. As the Angevin empire destabilizes, Rob and Marian find themselves entangled with kings and queens, forced to wield Norman-era tools—politics, gold, and betrayal—to secure Saxon futures. What begins as a survival fight becomes a confrontation with power itself. Though sweeping in scope, Season 2 stays emotionally intimate, deepening romance, intensifying rivalries, and reimagining the legend as a prestige drama about love, legacy, and the cost of making history.
Michael Wright, MGM+ Global Head, highlighted that Robin Hood quickly became one of the network’s top-performing originals, with strong responses from U.S. and international audiences. He expressed excitement to continue the epic journey for a second season, praising John Glenn, Jonathan English, and the creative team for their deep, authentic reimagining of the classic tale and eagerly anticipating where they will take the story next.
In terms of distribution, alongside MGM+ in the United States, the series will be accessible to MGM+ viewers in the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Spain, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
Lionsgate’s Jocelyn Sabo underscored that the global fan response confirms the series’ compelling vision and emotional resonance. She looked forward to continuing the partnership with MGM+, Todd Lieberman, and the entire creative team as momentum builds, noting that Season 2 will raise the stakes and deepen the emotional journeys at the heart of this enduring tale.
Todd Lieberman of Hidden Pictures expressed that extending the world of Robin Hood alongside John Glenn and Jonathan English is a creative dream, and Season 2 will reflect expanded craftsmanship and artistry in which Hidden Pictures is proud to participate.
