The 3rd and final season of Brit Hit series, Robin Hood, premieres tonight, September 12, 2009, on BBC America. And after last season's heartbreaking finale, you can expect a much darker anti-hero, this season. Robin Hood is still battling the deliciously evil Sheriff of Nottingham, and his lapdog Sir Guy of Gisborne, but Robin now has only vengeance on his mind. I won't mention why in this paragraph, for folks who may not have seen the series, and may wish to get caught up with the DVDs of Season One and Two of Robin Hood. For the rest of you ... keep reading ...

Djaq and Will Scarlett decide to remain fighting the good fight in the Holy Land, while Robin, Much and Little John return to Sherwood Forest. Lady Marian has been murdered by Sir Guy of Gisborne, after his attempt to kill King Richard is thwarted. Now, Robin is out for nothing but blood, and cares not for the gang. He is met by Kate, who has been trying to her village from the corrupt clutches of the Sheriff of Nottingham, and Tuck, a spiritual preacher. Gisborne's sister, Isabella, arrives to escape an abusive husband, but don't let that fool ya ... she is as ruthless and ambitious as her brother Guy.

Returning Cast:

  • Robin Hood - Jonas Armstrong (Clive Barker's Book of Blood)
  • Sir Guy of Gisborne - Richard Armitage (Frozen, MacBeth, Cleopatra, Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace)
  • Sheriff of Nottingham - Keith Allen (Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London, The Others, Loch Ness, Shallow Grave)
  • Much - Sam Troughton (Hex, Spirit Trap, Messiah 3: The Promise, Alien vs. Preditor)
  • Little John - Gordon Kennedy (The Man-Eating Wolves of Gysinge, Red Dwarf)
  • Alan A Dale - Joe Armstrong

New Cast:

  • Kate - Joanne Froggatt (original Brit version of Life on Mars)
  • Tuck - David Harewood (The Last Enemy series)
  • Isabella, Gisborne's younger sister - newcomer, Lara Pulver
  • Prince John - Toby Stephens (Dark Corners, Die Another Day, Space Cowboys)
  • Archer - Clive Standen (Doctor Who)

There are quite a few surprises and revelations in this 3rd season of Robin Hood, even though it's the last (Jonas Armstrong decided to call it quits). For more info on the series (which I have thoroughly enjoyed), please visit the BBC America website:
