We just watched the Season 2 ...
Question: We just watched the Season 2 finale of
Robin Hood on BBC America. Has the show been canceled? With the killing off of Marian and two other members of the "gang" staying in the Holy Land, it sure seems like that was "goodbye." Any info would be appreciated. We discovered the show during the last two episodes of Season 1 and have been hooked. The show is just a lot of fun to watch and a good "escape" for an hour a week. Sure hate to see such good writing and a good ensemble go away. Again, any help you could provide would be appreciated.
Answer: Robin Hood has not been canceled. In fact, a third season is being filmed in Budapest as we speak and will air in 2009. I admit I drifted from this show and was shocked to hear that the story had taken such a tragic twist with Marian being killed. (Methinks I need to get my hands on Season 2 before Season 3 comes around.) BBC America issued a release with some surprising info about next season
[Spoiler Alert], describing an "older, tougher Robin hell bent on revenge" and the arrival of Friar Tuck (David Harewood), who'll join the gang. But the biggest twist is that Jonas Armstrong, who plays Robin Hood, will leave the show "in an explosive, nail-biting Season 3 finale" (BBC America's words). The release continues: "How the legacy unfolds after Jonas leaves is in itself mysterious and intriguing — guaranteed to make fans desperate to find out what happens next." Gotta say, hard to imagine
Robin Hood without, you know, Robin Hood.
