Today, premium linear channel and streaming service MGM+ announced it has renewed the romantic adventure drama series Robin Hood for a second season. The 10-episode season will go into production at PFI Studios in Serbia this summer. Robin Hood is one of MGM+’s all-time best first-season performers. From Lionsgate Television, with showrunner John Glenn, producer-director Jonathan English and executive producer Todd Lieberman of Hidden Pictures, Robin Hood brings a modern energy to the classic tale of the roguish outlaw hero who stole from the rich and gave to the poor, and the epic love story between him and a courageous and daring Marian. It is a smart, sweeping, romantic adventure that brings historical authenticity, psychological depth, and a heightened focus on the relationship between Rob and Marian to the beloved story.
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.
Season two of Robin Hood two 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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
Season one starred Jack Patten as Rob, 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. Season two casting will be announced shortly.
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.
