The BBC has just released a trailer for the upcoming six-part television series Sherwood which comes to BBC One and the iPlayer in June. The show features an all-star cast that includes David Morrissey, Joanne Froggatt, Robert Glenister, Alun Armstrong, Lesley Manville, Adeel Akhtar, Claire Rushbrook, Kevin Doyle, Lorraine Ashbourne, Phillip Jackson, Perry Fitzpatrick, Adam Hugill and Stephen Tompkinson.
Inspired in part by real events and set in the Nottinghamshire mining village where writer James Graham grew up, at the heart of Sherwood lie two shocking and unexpected killings that shatter an already fractured community and spark a massive manhunt. As suspicion and antipathy build – both between lifelong neighbours and towards the police forces who descend on the town – the tragic killings threaten to inflame historic divisions sparked during the miners’ strike three decades before.
Sherwood starts Monday 13th June, 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer. Episodes will air every Monday and Tuesday at 9pm.
Watch the trailer below.
