Robin Hood

After the Norman invasion, Robin Hood reimagines the familiar story as a tense political drama. Rob, a Saxon forester's son, and Marian, the daughter of a Norman lord, begin a risky relationship that crosses social lines and unsettles both camps. As corruption tightens its grip on the countryside, they gather allies from different backgrounds, including Little John, Will, and Priscilla of Nottingham, to push back against predatory officials and landed interests. The series alternates between skirmishes in the woods and quieter scenes of strategy and debate, so the action often serves a moral question: how far are people willing to go to change an unjust system while keeping their own humanity intact.

Premiered in 2025, Robin Hood was created by Jonathan English and John Glenn. The show retools the legend for modern viewers, mixing large-scale action choreography with intimate character moments and a focus on political intrigue.

As of its release the series has not claimed major awards, though it has appeared in genre roundups and early festival notes. Any future nominations or wins will depend on how the show gains traction with critics and awards bodies over the coming seasons.

The series has prompted renewed conversation about how medieval stories reflect contemporary concerns, especially around class, national identity, and women in positions of influence. Viewers and commentators have pointed to Marian and Priscilla as layered figures who complicate the usual damsel imagery, while the portrayal of Saxon and Norman tensions has stirred debate about historical representation.

Audience feedback sits comfortably above average, with a user score around 7.65 out of 10 from early votes, indicating steady approval. Critics and viewers tend to highlight recurring themes of loyalty versus law, the ethics of resistance, and the personal cost of rebellion, noting that the show balances moral ambiguity with visceral action and tight interpersonal drama.
