A first-look image of the new version of Robin Hood, starring Sean Bean and Connie Nielsen, has been released.
MGM+ has a new dramatic interpretation of the classic hero from British folklore set to premiere later this year.
The press release describes the show as "a smart, sweeping, romantic adventure that brings historical authenticity, psychological depth, and a heightened focus on the relationship between Rob and Marian to the beloved story".
However, Bean and Nielsen aren't playing Robin Hood and Maid Marian. They're playing the Sheriff of Nottingham and Eleanor of Aquitaine, respectively.
The duo feature in character in this first-look image, which is described as "offering a glimpse at the tense rivalries and high-stakes power struggles at the heart of this reimagined take".

Robin Hood will stream on MGM+, which is available as a Prime Video channel, in the UK, Italy, Germany, Spain, Belgium, and the Netherlands later this year.
