DESCRIPTION:
(from MGM's press release, September 2024) Premium linear channel and streaming service MGM+ announced today a new drama series order for Robin Hood, in which the classic tale of the roguish outlaw hero who stole from the rich and gave to the poor gets reimagined into a smart, sweeping, romantic adventure. The series comes from Lionsgate Television with showrunner John Glenn and producer director Jonathan English (Librarians: The Next Chapter) at the helm. Glenn and English also serve as writers and executive producers, alongside Todd Lieberman of Hidden Pictures. Carly Kleinbart and Nicole Bryant will oversee the series for Hidden Pictures. Robin Hood will shoot its ten-episode first season at PFI Studios in Serbia, with production beginning in February. Robin Hood is slated to premiere on MGM+ later next year. 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. 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, as both work together to thwart royal corruption and bring peace to the land. |
