Sherwood’s David Harewood promises ‘lots of ‘oh f***’ moments’ in season 2

As a cinephile with decades of film and television consumption under my belt, I can confidently say that the anticipation for Sherwood season 2 has been palpable. Having followed David Harewood’s illustrious career since his early days on stage to his recent roles in Homeland, Supergirl, The Night Manager, and The Acolyte, it is a joy to witness his talent once more, this time as part of the Sherwood ensemble.


At last, the wait is finally over! This week, we’ll get to see Sherwood season 2 unfold on our television screens.

In this upcoming season, we’ll see familiar faces such as Ian St Clair (played by David Morrissey), Julie Jackson (portrayed by Lesley Manville), and Daphne Sparrow (acted by Lorraine Ashbourne) reappear.

As a movie enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that the captivating second season not only continues the intriguing narrative but also welcomes some fresh talents to its cast. Among these new additions are Monica Dolan, known for her gripping performances in Mr. Bates vs The Post Office and Small Axe, as well as Sharlene Whyte, who has left an indelible mark on Small Axe, and the renowned David Harewood, best recognized from Homeland.

“That almost makes your job easier because all you’ve got to do is play your reality.”

He added: “The intricacy lies in the editing process, where all the pieces are blended. However, following your main thread is what I enjoy as an actor – it offers such a delightful scene for us to act out. We have a rich relationship to explore, and I let others handle the vast array of editing.”

“This morning, as we were observing it, a surprising event occurred which I hadn’t anticipated. It wasn’t until I connected the dots that its significance truly became apparent.”

“The editing phase is a marvel in its own right; some aspects are set aside to strengthen others. As performers, we too are amazed when we view the final product – for instance, last night while watching with my spouse, there was an instant where she exclaimed, ‘Wow!’ I hadn’t even realized what had happened [during filming] at that moment.”

Harewood continued, “That’s the instant – given that I’m aware of the plot and the outcome – when you feel, ‘Wow, this is huge.’ It’s just that single instance that carries such a significant impact.”

“You’re likely to encounter numerous shocking instances, or as some might say, ‘jaw-dropping’ moments, throughout the upcoming episodes. This is because certain choices made by characters will significantly affect the entire narrative.”

Without a doubt, Harewood has made a name for himself with his performances in shows like Homeland, Supergirl, The Night Manager, and most recently, The Acolyte.

Apart from appearing in numerous productions throughout the years, Harewood is recognized for hosting several documentaries such as “David Harewood: Exploring Blackface” and “David Harewood: Sharing My Struggle with Psychosis.”

In the upcoming season of Sherwood, we’ll meet fresh characters and explore their tales, much like an anthology, while delving deeper into the aftermath of the highly intense first season of the James Graham series.

As someone who has always been captivated by thought-provoking television shows, I eagerly anticipate diving into the second season of this series. Given my background in analyzing complex narratives and themes, I believe that the exploration of powerful themes that resonated with audiences across the UK will only deepen my appreciation for this show. Having grown up in a diverse cultural landscape, I am particularly drawn to stories that reflect the nuances of human experiences. The first season left me intrigued, and I am excited to witness how the story progresses in the upcoming episodes.

“In contemporary times, the story unfolds as it brings forth two fresh households who unknowingly become embroiled with the Sparrows. This leads them into an intricate network involving neighborhood gangs, long-standing feuds, vengeance, and deception.”

“Simultaneously, a freshly elected sheriff of Nottingham is vigorously opposing the planned mine in the region. While this venture could bring essential work opportunities and wealth, it also resurfaces unpleasant memories of the past that have plagued the community for years.”
