EALING lecturer Justin Trefgarne has developed and written a new series for the YouTube streaming platform.
Sherwood is a 10-episode series aimed at children aged 9-11.
It draws on the legend of Robin Hood for its inspiration, but with the added dimensions that Robin is a girl and it’s set in the 23rd Century.
The trailer had more than five million views and the first episode surpassed that with 7.5m in its first week.

Mr Trefgarne, 46, who lectures at MetFilm School in Ealing Studios, said: “A lot of hard work has gone into this series. Some of it’s mine, but also the animators and producers."
He is course leader on MetFilm's MA Film & TV Production and has been working with the school since 2009.
He added: “The new streaming platforms, such as YouTube, have opened up lots of new employment opportunities and it’s both very rewarding and challenging for me to work with these young people."
