Robin Hood Premiere Date and Teaser Revealed
MGM+ has unveiled the premiere date and the official teaser trailer for the reimagined adventure drama series Robin Hood. The 10-episode series will launch with a special two-episode premiere on Sunday, November 2, at 9:00 pm ET/PT on MGM+ in the U.S., with episodes releasing weekly leading up to the season finale on Sunday, December 28.
Additionally, the epic series will be available to MGM+ viewers in the UK, Italy, Germany, Spain, Latin America, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.
From Lionsgate Television, 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, as well as the epic love story between him and the 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.
Following the Norman invasion of England, Rob – a Saxon forester’s son – and Marian, the daughter of a Norman lord, fall in love and work together to fight for justice and freedom. As Rob rises as the leader of a band of rebel outlaws, Marian infiltrates the power at court, and both work together to thwart royal corruption and bring peace to the land.
Robin Hood stars 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.
John Glenn is executive producer, along with executive producer and director Jonathan English and executive producer Todd Lieberman of Hidden Pictures.
“We call MGM+ television for movie lovers and English, and Glenn’s Robin Hood is the epitome of our brand promise,” said Michael Wright, head of MGM+, previously. “This is a new imagining of the classic tale of the roguish outlaw hero who stole from the rich and gave to the poor.
Wright added, “It’s an exciting, 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.”
“John and Jonathan bring an epic scale and a deeply resonant narrative to this fresh take of Robin Hood,” said Jocelyn Sabo, SVP of scripted television development at Lionsgate. “We’re excited to partner with MGM+ and Todd to bring the legendary story of Robin Hood to a modern audience.”
“This reimagining will not only feature the thrilling action and adventure that audiences love, but it will also explore the complex human side of these famed characters,” added Todd Lieberman. “I’m pleased to extend my relationship with Lionsgate into television and team up with MGM+ on this compelling series.”
English and Glenn said, “Robin Hood is a global brand and a story we’ve both been obsessed with since our youth. We are truly honored to have partnered with MGM+, Lionsgate, and Todd to bring this classic story back to life.”
