ABC has confirmed to EW that Sean Maguire has agreed to play the role of Robin Hood in season three of "Once Upon a Time."
Robin Hood made his debut last season on the show, but was played by Tom Ellis. Maguire will act as Robin Hood for at least four episodes during the upcoming season.
Series co-creator Adam Horowitz explained to TVLine, about the scheduling conflicts which kept Ellis from returning to the show: "Although we love Tom Ellis, unfortunately he wasn't available," Horowitz said. "We remain huge fans of his, but because we have an arc planned for the character, we had to move forward."
"Once Upon a Time" returns to ABC on Sunday, September 29, at 8 p.m. ET.
