Amazon MGM+ Casts Unknown for Lead in Upcoming ‘Robin Hood’ Series

Jack Patten is quickly making a name for himself in Hollywood. The Australian actor, a 2023 graduate of the National Institute of Dramatic Arts in Sydney, has landed his first TV role, and it’s the lead of an on-air series, MGM+’s Robin Hood.

The casting process mirrors Patten’s initial notable Hollywood role on the upcoming Patrick Hughes film for Netflix, “War Machine.” This assignment led Patten to secure American representation through Gersh. Todd Lieberman’s production company, Hidden Pictures, which produces both “War Machine” and “Robin Hood,” cast Patten in their movie and subsequently recommended him for “Robin Hood.

The television series “Robin Hood,” produced by Lionsgate under the guidance of showrunner John Glenn, is portrayed as an expansive, romantic journey, offering a fresh perspective on the traditional story while maintaining historical accuracy, exploring the characters’ inner lives, particularly that of Robin and Marian, and emphasizing their relationship.
