Robin Hood and Maid Marian have never been seen like this before. It’s not just the fact “he’s an Aussie and I’m a Scouser,” says star Lauren McQueen, but the way in which MGM’s new Robin Hood is rendered as an Outlander-style period romance, with added contemporary grit.
“I feel like we’ve seen Maid Marian always as Robin Hood’s love interest,” says McQueen. “In this series she really has her own individual journey which I found really appealing. She’s not carried by the men in the show, she’s got her own kind of journey, ambitions, struggles, and we find out who the real Maid Marian is.”
