What is Robin Hood about?
Following the Norman invasion of England, Rob – a Saxon forester's son – and Marian, the daughter of a Norman lord – fall in love and work together to fight for justice and freedom. As Rob rises as the leader of a band of rebel outlaws, Marian infiltrates the power at court, as both work together to thwart royal corruption and bring peace to the land.
HELLO!'s TV Writer Abby Allen said: "As a self-confessed Robin Hood obsessive, I can't wait for this one to hit screens! Sean Bean is the king of historical dramas, having starred in Sharpe, Shardlake and, of course, Game of Thrones. I have no doubt his take on the legendary outlaw will be unmissable."
