BBC America reimagines Robin Hood: 'Nottingham' blurs line between hero and villain
Per Deadline, BBC America is creating a new series called "Nottingham" based on the story of Robin Hood. Except in this case, it's the villainous Sheriff of Nottingham who is both the villain and the hooded vigilante Robin Hood.
This is how Deadline explains the series' premise:
"Described as a soapy class drama, 'Nottingham' centers on the Sheriff of Nottingham whose wife is killed by King John's men. When nobody is brought to justice, the Sheriff launches a one-man war against the Crown. By day, he remains the reviled Sheriff, loyal servant of the King, but by night he puts on a hood and, using the intelligence he gains from his office, attacks the King where it hurts the most -- his coffers. As Robin Hood, he systematically raids the King's men, his noble loyalists and political allies, giving the spoils to the starving peasantry and starting a rebellion that will change England forever."
