The creator of Sherwood has revealed the third season will be its last.

The show was first broadcast in 2022 and is inspired by the 2004 miners’ strikes and murders around Nottingham.

Creator confirms Sherwood will end after series three

The show’s synopsis reads: “Old grudges, new rivalries.

“A tangled web of murder and revenge spirals in a fractured Nottinghamshire mining community.

“Powerful drama with Lesley Manville and David Morrissey.”

The creator of Sherwood, James Graham, appeared on the podcast Backstory with Cathy Newman and confirmed the show would end after the third series has aired.

He said: “We’ve finished it, we’ve edited it, and it will be the last series, and it will be out in January, February time.”

Sherwood features a range of huge names in TV including David Morrissey, Lorriane Ashbourne, and Lesley Manville.

James mentioned how nice it has been that actors have been willing to return to the show.

He said: “[What’s] been really lovely is to get original actors back – people like Lesley Manville, David Morrissey, Lorraine Ashbourne, from the first series bringing back Claire Rushbrook, Robert Glenister.

“People, just even saying their names, you go, ‘Why are you working with me? I feel so lucky’.’”

The third series of Sherwood will see a few new stars joining the cast including Rosalie Craig, who starred in Riot Women, and Game of Thrones actor Joe Dempsie.

The two actors are set to star as a new family that James said he has “put through a brand new trauma”.

He added: “We really put these guys through the wringer, but it’s very exciting.”

The new series of Sherwood does not have a confirmed release date yet but it is expected to be broadcast at the start of 2027.

If you want to catch up on Sherwood or rewatch the series, both series one and two are available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
