Sean Bean's new period drama is heading to screens soon, with a release date confirmed in an action-packed first trailer.
The Time and Game of Thrones actor stars in a new "reimagined" series of Robin Hood, with 10 episodes for fans to look forward to.
The first two episodes will premiere on 2 November on MGM+, with a new episode dropping weekly, leading up to the grand finale on 28 December.
"We conquered your lands, now we rule," Bean, who portrays the infamous Sheriff of Nottingham,says in voiceover at the beginning of the trailer. "In 100 years, all that is Saxon will be gone. No one will ever know you or your kind existed."
The Sheriff's reign is about to be tested though. Enter Robin 'Rob' Hood, played by NCIS: Sydney's Jack Patten, who gives the ruler cause for concern as his new crossbow-wielding nemesis.
