Sherwood Season 2 Trailer Features Return of Sparrows and Two New Rime Families; Everything You Need To Know

As a lifestyle expert with a deep-rooted passion for both storytelling and social justice, I am absolutely thrilled about the return of BBC’s Sherwood! Having spent considerable time diving into the complexities of community dynamics through my work, I can appreciate the authenticity and depth that James Graham brings to this series.


Following a gap of two years, the eagerly awaited second season of BBC’s Sherwood is set to debut! It kicks off this coming Sunday, August 25, at 9 p.m., with the second episode following suit on Monday, August 26. The series will then carry on, airing new episodes on both Sundays and Mondays thereafter.

The upcoming season carries forward the narrative started in Season 1, focusing on persistent conflicts within Nottinghamshire’s neighborhoods. Drawing inspiration from actual events that occurred in writer James Graham’s hometown, Season 1 traced the repercussions of two disturbing murders on a divided society. The second season unfolds in contemporary times, combining familiar and new faces to further develop the storyline.

As a longtime resident of Sherwood, I’ve seen my fair share of drama unfold within this small town. But from the looks of the trailer for Sherwood Season 2, it seems like things are about to heat up even more! The return of the Sparrows, a local crime family notorious for their shady dealings, is always cause for concern. Adding to the mix are two new families, the Bottomleys and the Bransons, who I’ve heard rumors about but have yet to fully understand their motives.

In the second installment, we further explore the impactful motifs from the initial season. It takes place in current times, introducing us to two fresh families who are connected to the Sparrows. This series delves into neighborhood gangs, rekindled feuds, vengeance, and deception.

A fresh sheriff is fiercely opposing the suggested mine, offering employment opportunities and wealth, yet stirring up memories of past challenges that the community would rather forget.

Under the direction of Clio Barnard (famous for Ali & Ava) and Tom George (This Country), this season boasts a lineup of familiar faces like David Morrissey, Lesley Manville, and Stephen Dillane. Joining them are new additions to the cast, which includes Monica Dolan, Robert Lindsay, David Harewood, Adam Hugill, Jorden Myrie, and Ria Zmitrowicz.

In this new version, series originator James Graham once again pens every episode, delving deeper into societal concerns and regional history. Clio Barnard is at the helm for the majority of episodes, while Tom George takes charge for the last three.

The six-episode run will delve further into the daily lives of Nottinghamshire locals, revealing how past occurrences shape their current experiences. Beginning with a two-part premiere, Sherwood Season 2 kicks off on Sunday, August 25, and continues on Monday, August 26, airing on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
