The classic literary outlaw Robin Hood will soon adventure with Little John once again. MGM+ has ordered a new twist on the classic tale coming from Lionsgate Television with former SEAL Team showrunner John Glenn at the helm alongside producer-director Jonathan English and executive producer Todd Lieberman.

Both Glenn and English have been tapped to pen the series, which will begin production in Serbia at PFI Studios in February 2025. If all goes well, the roguish hero will ride again sometime later next year. Robin Hood has appeared in many forms on both the big and small screen, from the adventure classic from 1938, The Adventures of Robin Hood, to Mel Brooks’s parody darling Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and even the Disney-animated Robin Hood from 1973.

Each brings its own charms to the tale of the benevolent thief who steals from the rich to give to the poor. MGM+’s series will similarly play with the formula, specifically emphasizing his relationship with the courageous Marian.

Set following the Norman invasion of England, it will see Rob, a Saxon forester’s son, and the daughter of a Norman lord, Marian, fall in love and strive for justice and freedom in their separate ways. While Rob raises a band of merry rebel outlaws, Marian pulls strings by infiltrating the power at court all in the name of curbing royal corruption.

Fans of *Fire Country* are in for an exciting turn as the upcoming episodes weave in a story inspired by the legendary Robin Hood, but with a fresh, romantic twist. Known for his daring deeds and battles for justice, Robin Hood has been a beloved figure for centuries. Now, this new adaptation aims to bring a deeper focus on his love story, adding a fresh layer of emotion and intrigue to the tale.

In this upcoming series, Robin Hood’s legendary exploits remain central, but the heart of the story will shift towards his relationship with Maid Marian, offering viewers a romance-driven take on the classic legend. This version will dive into their connection, exploring how their love withstands the pressures of their dangerous lives as outlaws fighting corruption. Expect dramatic tension, heartfelt moments, and the kind of action-packed adventures Robin Hood fans know and love, but with a focus on the emotional stakes between the characters.

Beyond Robin and Marian, other key figures from the legend will be reimagined with similarly compelling arcs, balancing the thrill of rebellion with romantic and personal challenges. With this fresh, romance-filled approach, *Fire Country* brings a captivating new take on Robin Hood that’s poised to capture both the hearts of longtime fans and newcomers alike.
