MGM+'s Robin Hood and Peacock's M.I.A.






MGM+'s ROBIN HOOD
  • Richard Lintern, Erica Ford, Ryan Gage, Oscar Salem, Miloš Timotijević and Tamara Radovanović have landed recurring roles on the upcoming drama starring Jack Patten and Lauren McQueen. Lintern previously starred for seven seasons in BBC One's Silent Witness. Ford recurred on HBO's The Nevers and guest starred on HBO's House of the Dragon. Gage starred for three seasons in BBC One's The Musketeers and recurred on Netflix's Queen Charlotte. Salem recurred on the second season of BBC One's Vigil. Timotijević starred in the films In the Land of Blood and Honey and Like Sheep Among Wolves. Radovanović recurred on Syfy's The Ark.
  • Lintern will play the Bishop of Hereford. Greedy yet savvy, he enjoys significant political and spiritual power as an agent of the crown who's also been appointed by the Vatican in Rome. A meaningful ally (or enemy), he exerts his influence alongside the Sheriff (Sean Bean) to maintain the status quo in Nottingham - a status quo that very much benefits him.
  • Ford will play Ralph Miller. The eldest of the Miller siblings, Ralph has lived much of her life disguised as a boy, for her own protection. Forced to care for her brothers from a young age, she is fiercely loyal and protective. From the moment Rob (Patten) enters her life, he catches her eye - around him, she feels safe, and begins flowering into her femininity in ways that are both awkward and beautiful. While she knows Rob loves Marian (McQueen), Ralph never stops carrying a torch for him, believing that in the end he belongs with one of his own kind - a Saxon, like herself.
  • Gage will play Spragart. Cunning and resourceful, he is a Saxon poacher and thief whose twisted path intersects Rob's after Rob catches him poaching in Sherwood. Later, Spragart joins up with Rob and the Outlaws, joining the gang on a daring raid against the Bishop. He's a quick-thinking rogue with a mind that's always up to something - and it's usually no good.
  • Salem will play Marshal, the Earl of Pembroke, Eleanor's (Connie Nielsen) advisor and confidant. Worldly, ambitious and politically savvy, he is a chief ally to the Queen, serving her faithfully while also pursuing an erotically charged romantic relationship with the Sheriff's daughter, Priscilla (Lydia Peckham).
  • Timotijević will play Egbert, a Royal Forester, who serves alongside Alwin and Hugh as a faithful protector of Sherwood.
  • No details were immediately announced about the character Radovanović will be playing.
PEACOCK's M.I.A.
  • Alberto Guerra, Edward James Olmos, Billy Burke and Sônia Braga have joined the cast of the upcoming drama starring Shannon Gisela.

Braga starred in the films Shotgun Wedding and The First Omen.
