ROBIN HOOD: FIRST LOOK AND LAUNCH DATE CONFIRMED FOR NEW DRAMA BASED ON CLASSIC TALE COMING TO PRIME VIDEO

The classic tale of Robin Hood, the roguish outlaw hero who stole from the rich and gave to the poor, is to get a smart, sweeping and romantic retelling with new MGM+ drama coming to Prime Video next month.

Robin Hood follows the tumultuous journey of a Saxon forester's son (Rob) turned legendary outlaw, as he navigates the corridors of power and leads a daring fight for justice and freedom. As Rob grapples with his inner demons and battles against the Norman elite, the series weaves a rich tapestry of historical accuracy, modern relevance, and intricate character dynamics.

With its expansive scope, including vibrant depictions of medieval England, the Vatican, the Palace at Westminster and beyond, and an ensemble cast featuring compelling stories of Queen Eleanor, the spirited Maid Marian, her best friend Priscilla, and more, Robin Hood promises an exhilarating, action packed reimagining of the iconic narrative, offering audiences an unforgettable adventure unlike any other, and a take on this story unlike any before it.

Michael Wright, head of MGM+, said: "We call MGM+ television for movie lovers and English and Glenn’s Robin Hood is the epitome of our brand promise. This is a new imagining of the classic tale of the roguish outlaw hero who stole from the rich and gave to the poor. 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."

Jocelyn Sabo, SVP, scripted television development at Lionsgate said: "John and Jonathan bring an epic scale and a deeply resonant narrative to this fresh take of Robin Hood. We’re excited to partner with MGM+ and Todd to bring the legendary story of Robin Hood to a modern audience."

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.

Robin Hood lands Sunday 2nd November on Prime Video.
