Amazon MGM’s new series is dominating streaming charts around the world, but it’s far from the first time the story of Robin Hood has been told. 15 years ago, Russell Crowe reunited with his Gladiator director, Ridley Scott, for Robin Hood, the historical epic following Robin Longstride and his legendary quest to lead an uprising against the crown that shifts the balance of power in the world. Amazon has now taken its turn at remaking the classic tale of Robin Hood, this time recruiting former Game of Thrones veteran Sean Bean to star. The series is currently #1 around the world on Amazon MGM+.

Amazon MGM’s new Robin Hood series is streaming exclusively on Amazon MGM+, and it’s not available to watch on Prime Video. The first four episodes of the show are out now, and new episodes will be released every Sunday until the Season 1 finale on December 28. In addition to Sean Bean as the Sheriff of Nottingham, Robin Hood (2025) also stars Connie Nielsen as Elanor of Aquitaine, Lydia Peckham as Priscilla of Nottingham, and Steven Waddington as Earl of Nottingham. The show was written and created for TV by Jonathan English and John Glenn.

Sean Bean first made a name for himself by playing Boromir in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings movies, and he later featured in another epic, Troy, as Odysseus. Matt Damon will take over the role of Odysseus in Christopher Nolan’s 2026 epic. Bean then exploded in popularity thanks to his role as Ned Stark in the first season of Game of Thrones, and he recently featured alongside Daniel Day-Lewis in his return to acting in Anemone.

Is Russell Crowe’s ‘Robin Hood’ on Streaming?

Russell Crowe’s 2010 iteration of Robin Hood is currently streaming on Netflix, the world's largest platform. It’s also available to rent or purchase on VOD platforms like Prime Video and Fandango at Home. In addition to Crowe in the lead role of Robin Longstride, Robin Hood (2010) also stars Cate Blanchett as Marion Loxley, Max von Sydow as Sir Walter Loxley, the late William Hurt as William Marshal, Mark Strong as Godfrey, and Oscar Isaac as Prince John. Brian Helgeland wrote the script for the film along with story contributors Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris.

Watch the first four episodes of Robin Hood (2025) on Amazon MGM+, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of the series.
