MGM+ Renews Robin Hood for Second Season

MGM+ has ordered a second season of Robin Hood from Lionsgate Television, with John Glenn continuing as showrunner.

“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.”

Robin Hood, which brings a modern energy to the classic tale, is produced and directed by Jonathan English and executive produced by Todd Lieberman of Hidden Pictures.

Season two will expand the world beyond Sherwood and Nottingham into the courts of England, France and Rome. 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 Morna power to secure a future for the Saxons.

Season one starred Jack Patten, Lauren McQueen, Sean Bean, Lydia Peckham, Steven Waddington and Connie Nielsen. Season two casting will be announced shortly.

Season two is set to begin production at PFI Studios in Serbia this summer.

“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 VP 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,” commented 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,” added Lieberman. “Season two reflects the expansion of craftsmanship and artistry that Hidden Pictures is proud to be a part of.”

With this renewal, Lionsgate has now secured renewals for 12 of its 13 scripted series.
