Sherwood is a British television crime drama series created and written by James Graham. It stars David Morrissey and is inspired by real life murders in Nottinghamshire, England in 2004.
Set in a Nottinghamshire mining village, two shocking killings shatter an already fractured community with a dark past arising from divisions created by the 1984–85 miners’ strike which have persisted. The story is loosely based on the actual murders of trade unionist Keith Frogson and hairdresser Chanel Taylor in July 2004. The fictional story 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.
Sherwood‘s second season begins November 14th.
