The show was based on the legend of Robin Hood, the English folk hero, and was filmed in Vilnius, Lithuania.

The tone of the series resembled its contemporaries Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess.

A unique promotional effort took place between the two, with the Nitro main event—Hulk Hogan vs The Giant—not beginning until two minutes before the show ended, then continuing and being broadcast during portions of commercial breaks.

Following the adventures of the legendary outlaw hero and his team, this series tells all new tales pitting Robin, Little John, Marion, and Tuck against the forces of oppression and greed.

Similar to other fantasy-action shows at the time, such as Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and The Adventures of Sinbad, this version incorporates fantasy elements into the Robin Hood mythos, the most notable addition being the wizard Olwyn, who acts as a mentor to Robin.

The Haunted Castle: An investigation into a man and his daughter's disappearance leads to the team confronting their own fears.

The Hunter: In a Predator-style episode, Rowena accidentally summons a creature who must collect seven warriors for a sacrifice that will enhance his power.

A Date with Destiny: Robin is sent back fifteen years and mistakenly alters history.

Orphans: Robin must rescue a young boy from an evil knight who seeks to overthrow his cousin, a queen.

Heroes: The Sheriff has a look-a-like pose as Robin while the real one is sent back in time, and placed in the body of a treacherous ancestor.
