Robin Hood cast: Who stars alongside Sean Bean in the MGM+ series?
Everything you need to know about the characters and where you've seen the cast before.
There have been many adaptations of the legend of Robin Hood, but the MGM+ series promises to be a romantic spin on the tale offering a new psychological depth, grit and historical accuracy than ever seen before.
Co-written by Jonathan English and John Glenn, the 10-part series follow Rob in his origins story as a Saxon forester’s son who falls in love with a Norman Lord’s daughter, Marian. Together, the duo must fight for justice and freedom against the oppression in the Middle Ages, Rob with his band of rebel outlaws and Marian by infiltrating the courts.
Speaking to RadioTimes.com, Glenn and English set out to create something new, rather than a recreation or extension of a previous adaptation.
We both love all the shows," said English. "I've been a huge Robin hood fan and fan of the Middle Ages since forever, and I love all of those shows. I grew up watching Kevin Costner and I think we all did, as most people do, even the recent Russell Crowe film.
Glenn added: "There have been so many great interpretations over the years, even the Walt Disney film – I mean, the Walt Disney film is actually one of the best – and people love it.
"We wanted to actually, in our story, to have all of the fun and the humour and the high-action adventure, but we also wanted to tell an origin story, and we wanted it to be more believable, more grounded. So certain things you can't get from the other films because they just didn't choose to show that version of it."
