Everything We Know About 'Sherwood' Season 2

Sherwood's first season was one of the best shows of the year on any network, and with viewership to match, the BBC hurried to renew the show for a second season before the embargo it was coming to BritBox US had dropped. However, the story told about the small Northern town on the edge of the famous forest didn't leave much of an opened ended finale. If anything, it felt like a very final conclusion, both for the mystery and the town's long-held biases within the community.

Audiences therefore might be curious about what exactly a Sherwood Season 2 would constitute. Considering the A-list cast the first season sported, it seemed a shame to leave these characters, despite their journeys being completed. However, that may be exactly what's ahead for viewers, as filming is confirmed to begin in 2023. According to reports, the BBC's plan for another season will not necessarily be centered in the same town, or be a mystery.

In a statement about the renewal, Graham said "The East Midlands and former 'red wall' areas like it are never just one thing - politically or culturally - and it’s been the honor of my life to give voice and character to a place I love. It’s a county of great stories and legends, past and present, and I can’t wait to show audiences more." House Productions, which will take point don't the second season echoed that thought.
