Robyn Hood is a Canadian action drama television series described as a modernized reimagining[1][2] of the English legend of Robin Hood. Created by music video director and filmmaker Director X (Julien Christian Lutz), the series stars Jessye Romeo, Nykeem Provo, Idrissa Sanogo, and Daniela Kharlamova. It airs on the Global Television Network and stream on StackTV.

Premiering in September 2023 with an eight-episode run,[2][3] the series follows the young activist rapper Robyn and her anti-authoritarian masked hip-hop band The Hood living in a working class area in the fictional city of New Nottingham as they battle with "the corrupt elite" including a property developer and The Sheriff. Corus Entertainment executive Troy Reeb described the series as a "dark and gritty take", featuring "a heroine challenging the status quo and fighting oppression".[1]

In June 2024, it was announced that the series was cancelled due to low ratings.[4]
