CW TO MAKE "SHERWOOD" EPIC SHOW! FANTASY SAGA "THE FALSE PRINCE" FILM ADAPTATION! NEW TRAILER FOR "SPARTACUS: WAR OF THE DAMNED" FINAL SEASON

Woohoo, people, good news - we shall have yet another historical show coming up to the small screens in the future. According to "The Hollywood Reporter" CW is developing Robin Hood show SHERWOOD but instead of Robin, the focus of the show will be on a female vigilante who teams up with the fictitious outlaw and his Merry Men. One hour long series, to be written by CASHMERE MAFIA's Tze Chun, will be set in 1072 in England and will depict the adventures of a noblewoman who attempts to free her wrongly-jailed boyfriend from Norman occupiers with the help of Robin of Locksley and his gang. Seeing help from the vanished Robin of Locksley, she inadvertently reunites and joins the fabled Robin Hood and his Merry Men, inspiring new hope for the oppressed people of Nottingham. This is not the only epic show CW is developing since they are also working on AMAZON series which will centre on Wonder Woman and her origins.

The same site also reports on Paramount preparing the movie adaptation of THE FALSE PRINCE novel by Jennifer A. Nielsen, which was published this April and is a part of the ASCENDANCE fantasy trilogy.

Bryan Cogman, who is the story editor for GAME OF THRONES, will adapt this one which has story similarities with the HBO show: In a distant land, and with king, queen and crown prince murdered, a nobleman devises a plan to find someone to impersonate the king’s long-lost son and act as a puppet. An orphan finds himself chosen with three other boys in the running. But this is no mere competition - with court intrigue and political conspiracies make it a contest to the death. I wonder why are so many YA female writers writing books about kids who have to fight to the death??? Deeply bizarre, disgusting and dangerous.
