Robyn Hood, a new take on the old legend is on its way to Global and StackTV.
First announced in June 2022, we now have a premiere date for the new adaption. This new Global original comes from acclaimed Canadian music video director and filmmaker Director X.
The show follows Robyn Loxley, a young woman whose masked hip-hop band, The Hood, is known for their inventive videos and anti-authoritarian message. She lives in Sherwood Towers, a community of rental high-rises in a working-class corner of New Nottingham. Here the cost of living has skyrocketed, leaving an ever-widening gap between the rich and everyone else.
Robyn finds herself fighting for her home and her family. She comes into conflict with local property developer John Prince and The Sheriff of New Nottingham. Robyn and her band The Hood decide to fight back, righting the wrongs of the corrupt elite to give back to the people.
The eight-episode, one-hour series stars an up-and-coming cast featuring Jessye Romeo, Nykeem Provo, Idrissa Sanogo Bamba, Ksenia Daniela Kharlamova, Jonathan Langdon, Sydney Kuhne, Ian Matthews, Kira Guloien, Manuel Rodriguez-Saenz, and Lisa Michelle Cornelius.
Boat Rocker produced and distributes the show globally.
