BBC PRESS RELEASE - Series 3 Robin Hood!
Jonas Armstrong, who plays Robin Hood and updated the popular legend
for a whole new generation, is set to bow out of series three on BBC
One in an explosive, nail-biting series finale.
Over the past three years Robin has outwitted and delighted us,
fighting the authority of the evil Sheriff of Nottingham with
outrageous scams, disguises, tricks and ingenuity, breathtaking
archery and incredible sworldplay.
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.
Series three transmits in 2009 and Robin is older and tougher, hell-
bent on revenge following the tragic murder of Marian by Gisborne and
the Sheriff's failure to kill Prince John.
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.
Jonas Armstrong says: "Playing Robin Hood has been one of the most
incredible experiences of my life. Over the last three years I have
met some wonderful people and have only amazing memories to take with
me.
"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, Robin Hood, says: "Jonas has been a
superb Robin Hood who updated the legend for a contemporary audience,
reinvigorating it for a whole new generation.
"It has been a wonderful experience working with Jonas – we will miss
him, and wish him all the success for his future.
"We cannot confirm the series climax nor can we guarantee who will
survive and who won't.
You will have to watch it to see! But we can assure you Robin's exit
will be unmissable!"
Robin Hood series three is currently filming in Budapest and will be
on BBC One for another 13 episodes in 2009.
