More than two years since Sherwood first hit our screens, the acclaimed series returns in 2024 with plenty of familiar faces and a raft of new ones. David Morrissey is back as retired detective Ian St Clair and Lesley Manville again plays widowed Julie Jackson. They are joined by Homeland star David Harewood as Dennis Bottomley, as well as Robert Lindsay (My Family) and Monica Dolan (The Thief).

Once again focusing on the former coal-mining town of Sherwood in Nottinghamshire, the second season will continue to explore the themes of fractured communities and political turmoil. We will be introduced to two new families who find themselves entangled in a world where old rivalries are renewed and revenge is on the minds of many.

The sophomore season of the British crime drama looks to be equally as compelling as the first, so read on as we explain how to watch Sherwood season 2 live streams from anywhere in the world.
