I'm still convinced the third season of the BBC's Robin Hood will be the last, and this news seems to confirm it.
Jonas Armstrong is hanging up his arrows in an "explosive, nailbiting series finale", commenting:
Jonas Armstrong is hanging up his arrows in an "explosive, nailbiting series finale", commenting:
"I'm grateful to the fans for their support and to all the cast and crew for their friendship and loyalty throughout, but the time has come to take on new challenges and look at new opportunities."
Foz Allan, executive producer:
"Jonas has been a superb Robin Hood who updated the legend for a contemporary audience, reinvigorating it for a whole new generation. We cannot confirm the series climax nor can we guarantee who will survive and who won't."
A BBC spokesman:
"Robin Hood is more than a man -- he is a hero and a legend -- so how the legacy unfolds after Jonas leaves is in itself mysterious and intriguing, guaranteed to make fans desperate to find out what happens next."
Oh. So they may pull a Robin Of Sherwood on us and recast the part, with someone else taking over. But, with Marian dead and another rumour insisting the Sheriff kicks the bucket in season 3, is there really any point?
The BBC again:
"The Sheriff is more precarious and unpredictable than ever with new threats looming over him and there's the much-anticipated arrival of Friar Tuck, who joins the gang and becomes one of Robin's closest allies."
The show is currently filming in Budapast and will return this autumn.
