MGM has officially greenlit a second season of its dramatic Robin Hood series, following a strong viewer response after the show’s initial November launch. Variety first reported the renewal: Season 2 will again span ten episodes, with principal photography scheduled to begin this summer at PFI Studios in Serbia.
What to expect from the new season
Showrunner and executive producer John Glenn, alongside director Jonathan English, say the production partners — Lionsgate, MGM and producer Todd Lieberman — gave the creative team the backing needed to expand the series’ world. They’ve promised a bolder, more ambitious follow-up that aims to deepen character relationships while broadening the political and social stakes around the outlaw hero.
The choice to film at PFI Studios is notable: Serbia continues to attract international TV and film projects thanks to experienced crews, competitive production costs, and growing studio infrastructure. For a medieval drama that relies on expansive sets and period detail, those advantages can translate directly into richer production value on screen.
Comparisons and context Fans of modern historical dramas will likely find echoes of shows such as The Last Kingdom and Vikings in the series’ blend of action and political intrigue. Unlike glossy Hollywood retellings, this Robin Hood has leaned into a grittier, serialized drama format — a trend that streaming platforms and cable networks have favored when reinventing classic myths.
Behind the scenes and fan reaction Although casting updates and a release date haven’t been announced yet, early audience reception to season one convinced MGM to move forward. Social-media fan communities have already begun speculating about which allies and antagonists will return — a sign the series has built genuine engagement.
A light critical take The first season showed strong world-building but left some narrative threads intentionally open; the creative team’s promise to “expand the world” raises expectations that season two will deliver payoff alongside spectacle.
For now, viewers should mark their calendars for production updates this summer as filming gets underway in Serbia. More details — including release timing and casting news — are expected in the coming months.
