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".

It was produced by Corus Entertainment in partnership with Boat Rocker, Creative Rain, Eleventh Hour Films and Luti Media.

[2][5] The decision to change the character of Robin Hood from a man to a young woman was made in 2019 during the development process, when a sizzle reel was presented by Director X to Kathleen Meek, manager of original content at Corus Entertainment, who was said to have liked the idea.

[8] The show's creator accused online critics of having rating-bombed the series due to the fact that a black woman was cast as Robin Hood.
