Sherwood

Sherwood is a British television crime drama serial, created and written by James Graham. It stars David Morrissey and is inspired by real life murders in Nottinghamshire, England in 2004. The six-episode series first began airing on BBC One on 13 June 2022. It has been renewed for a second series. Plot Set in a Nottinghamshire mining village, two shocking killings shatter an already fractured community with a dark past. Divisions from the miners' strike (1984–85) have persisted. The story is loosely based on the murder of trade unionist Keith Frogson in 2004, and begins with the murder of a former union activist, Gary Jackson (Alun Armstrong). Jackson's interest in former police covert activities within the community leads the police to suspect a connection with the miners' strike.
