BritBox announced today the US and Canada premiere date for the second season of its Original crime drama series Sherwood.
The first season of Sherwood, a 2023 BAFTA TV Awards nominee and Royal Television Society, UK winner for Best Drama Series, was one of the most watched shows in the UK. Inspired by actual events that occurred two decades ago, it revolves around the killings of two local Nottinghamshire residents, the subsequent investigation, and the aftermath on the community.
The suspense-filled second season is set in the present day and explores the powerful themes that made the first season so resonant. It introduces two new families who find themselves entangled with the Sparrows — entering a complex web of local gangs, old rivalries, revenge, and betrayal. Meanwhile, a newly-appointed Sheriff of Nottingham is passionately fighting against a proposed new mine for the area, which brings the promise of much-needed jobs and prosperity but also unwelcome reminders of the legacy that has mired the community for so long.
Sherwood: Season 2, a BritBox Original, premieres in the US and Canada on Thursday, November 14, exclusively on BritBox.
As with Season 1, Season 2 features an all-star cast of celebrated British actors, including David Morrissey (Red Riding, The Walking Dead), Lesley Manville (Mrs Harris Goes to Paris, Mum), Monica Dolan (Black Mirror, The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe), David Harewood (Homeland, The Night Manager), Lorraine Ashbourne (Alma’s Not Normal, I Hate Suzie), Robert Lindsay (Maleficent 2, My Family), Stephen Dillane (Game of Thrones, Vigil), Sharlene Whyte (Stephen, Small Axe), Perry Fitzpatrick (Line of Duty, This Is England), Christine Bottomley (Domina, Back To Life), Philip Jackson (Raised by Wolves, Peterloo), Aisling Loftus (The Midwich Cuckoos, War and Peace), Bill Jones (Sherwood, The Village), Adam Hugill (1917, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness), Ria Zmitrowicz (The Power, Three Girls), Robert Emms (Andor, Chernobyl), Michael Balogun (Top Boy, The Lehman Trilogy), Oliver Huntingdon (The Rising, Happy Valley), Jorden Myrie (Mood, The Strays), Conor Deane (All Creatures Great & Small, Newark), and Bethany Asher (Wild Bill, Mobility).
