Hey everyone,
Just wanted to start a thread about the upcoming Robin Hood (2025) series that’s dropping on November 2 on MGM+ — because honestly, this might be one of the most interesting reboots of the classic tale we’ve seen in years.
This version isn’t your usual fairy-tale take. It’s darker, more political, and visually stunning. Produced by Lionsgate Television and filmed in Serbia, it’s a grounded origin story that shows how Rob of Loxley became the outlaw Robin Hood.
Cast highlights:
-
Jack Patten as Robin — a younger, more conflicted version of the hero.
-
Sean Bean (yes, the legend himself) as the Sheriff of Nottingham — cold, commanding, and brutal.
-
Lauren McQueen as Marian, who’s more of a strategist than just a love interest.
From the looks of the trailer, the cinematography feels The Last Kingdom-level — moody lighting, real armor, mud, and blood. It feels authentic, not stylized.
If you’re planning to watch or download the series later, though, a quick heads-up — MGM+ streams tend to get a bit compressed. I’ve been using HitPaw VikPea, an AI video enhancer, to clean up and upscale trailers and downloaded clips. It restores details that compression usually kills — sharper contrast, better lighting, clearer motion, even in 1080p or 4K. It’s actually made a huge difference watching darker scenes.
Here’s why I’m pretty hyped about this series:
-
Finally, a Robin Hood story that focuses on the man before the myth.
-
It’s not trying to be flashy — it’s human and raw.
-
Sean Bean as the Sheriff? That’s worth watching on its own.
So yeah — what do you think about another Robin Hood adaptation? Are you into this grittier, grounded take?
Or do you think the legend’s been told too many times already?
Would love to hear your thoughts
