Act One Podcast - Episode 49 - Special Episode featuring a case study from the 2025 Producing and Entertainment Executive Program on the new Lionsgate/MGM+ show, ROBIN HOOD, now streaming.

During the Act One Producing and Entertainment Executive Program, we occasionally offer case studies of projects for the students to watch and discuss with the filmmakers. Recorded on Saturday, November 8th, 2025, this interview with Showrunner John Glenn offers a fascinating look "behind the curtain” of the making of the new Lionsgate/MGM+ series, ROBIN HOOD.

John Glenn is an American screenwriter, producer, director, and showrunner with over 25 years of experience creating film and television at the highest level. He launched his career in 1999 when he sold his speculative screenplay Red World to Jerry Bruckheimer and Walt Disney Pictures. Since then, Glenn has written, sold, and produced original films and series for every major studio and network in Hollywood - including Warner Bros., Paramount, Universal, Fox, Sony, DreamWorks, and Disney, as well as ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX on the television side. His work also extends to MGM+, Lionsgate, and many more. His series Robin Hood for Lionsgate and MGM+, starring Sean Bean and Connie Nielson, premiered Nov. 2 and is currently streaming.

Throughout his career, Glenn has developed and sold dozens of high-concept projects, working closely with A-list directors, producers, and actors across both film and television. Known for his ability to craft character-driven stories within commercial genres, Glenn continues to serve as a trusted creative force in the industry, bridging the worlds of studio filmmaking and premium television.
