There’s finally a big new drama airing on BBC One on Sunday night, and you know what that means: if the broadcast times are anything to go by over the next few weeks, we’re in for quite a wild ride.

Sherwood season 2 has been highly anticipated since its first season and has become one of the network’s most popular dramas in 2022, so it’s safe to assume that many people are patiently waiting for new episodes to arrive.

Well, there is good news and bad news. The bad news is that you can’t watch the second season of Sherwood all at once, it comes out every week. But the good news is that we don’t have to wait too long, as the episodes come out on both Sunday and Monday nights.

Season 2 “further explores the powerful themes that made the first season so popular with audiences across the UK,” the synopsis says.

“Set in the present day, it introduces two new families who become involved with the Sparrows and become entangled in a complex web of local gangs, old rivalries, revenge and betrayal.”
