With the series now streaming on MGM+, we sat down with ROBIN HOOD stars Jack Patten and Lauren McQueen to discuss their roles in Jonathan English and John Glenn’s epic new series. But what was their inspiration behind their performances as Ron of Locksley and Maid Marian, respectively? More importantly, what can we expect from this sensational excursion to Sherwood Forest? Let’s find out.
Join us as we discuss their on-screen chemistry, going off script, and adding more depth to the mythology of Britain’s greatest outlaw. Watch the full interview below.
CAST & CREW
The series boasts an all-star cast including Jack Patten as Rob, Lauren McQueen as Marian, Sean Bean as the Sheriff of Nottingham, Lydia Peckham as Priscilla of Nottingham, Steven Waddington as the Earl of Huntingdon, and Connie Nielsen as Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine.

REVIEW
In my glowing FIVE-STAR review, I said, “Fear not, dear readers, because Jonathan English’s Robin Hood is nothing short of sensational. The series delivers a refreshingly grounded adaptation of the legend, coupled with the trademark swashbuckling the story is famous for. The result is a glorious ten-episode rollercoaster ride that takes us beyond the myth and adds new layers to the man behind the hood. With its glorious cinematography, exceptional production value, winning performances from its leads, and seasoned brilliance of its legacy stars, the series is the definitive adaptation of the source material.
The series makes the most of its nearly 10-hour runtime by thoroughly developing each character within its lore and expanding the legends in rich detail. From Little John to Friar Tuck and the Sheriff of Nottingham to Will Gamewell (aka Will Scarlett), every member of the lore is explored and presented with energetic freshness-and the result is intoxicating.” Read my full review here.
RELEASE
The 10-episode series launched with a special two-episode premiere on Sunday, 2nd November in the U.K., Italy, Germany, Spain, Belgium, and the Netherlands. New episodes release weekly leading up to the season finale on Sunday, 28th December.
