Meet the Cast
Jack Patten as Robin Hood
Newcomer Jack Patten steps into the role of Robin Hood, portraying a Saxon forester’s son whose life is shattered when Norman lords destroy his family. Rather than starting as the larger-than-life hero we know, this series follows Rob becoming Robin Hood—transforming from a grieving outsider into the clever, determined leader who sparks a rebellion.
Lauren McQueen as Marian
Lauren McQueen’s Marian is more than a love interest; she’s a Norman noblewoman walking a dangerous line between family loyalty and her devotion to Rob. While Robin rallies the outlaws in Sherwood, Marian fights her own battles in the halls of power, turning courtly manners into weapons of influence.
Sean Bean as the Sheriff of Nottingham
Sean Bean brings gravitas (and a long résumé of fantasy and historical roles, including Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings, and Sharpe) to the Sheriff of Nottingham, the man whose cruelty and ambition ignite Rob’s rebellion. He’s less a mustache-twirling villain and more a calculating enforcer of a brutal system, making every clash with Robin feel like it could tip the balance of the realm.
Connie Nielsen as Eleanor of Aquitaine
Connie Nielsen, known for roles in Gladiator, Wonder Woman, and The Following, plays Eleanor of Aquitaine, the formidable queen with her own agenda in England’s political struggle. When she steps into a scene, it’s clear she’s thinking several moves ahead of both barons and outlaws, adding a layer of royal intrigue above the chaos in Nottingham and Sherwood.
The Outlaws and Allies of Sherwood
Robin’s world is rounded out by a deep bench of British and European talent playing fan-favorite archetypes with fresh edges: loyal fighters, sharp-tongued rogues, wary nobles, and true believers in the cause. Little John (Marcus Fraser), Friar Tuck (Angus Castle-Doughty), and the rest of the Sherwood crew feel less like sidekicks and more like a scrappy coalition trying to survive under Norman rule.
Why You Should Tune In
This isn’t your grandmother’s Robin Hood. The series balances sword fights and stealth with high stakes and moral complexity—it’s bold, modern, and dripping with drama. With compelling characters, slick production values, and a fresh take on a familiar story, it could very well be your next binge-worthy obsession.
