Little surprise then, that the show has been renewed for a second series. Sky has announced that the show will be returning, with filming planned for next year with an air date scheduled for 2022. The announcement from Sky didn’t state in what capacity creators Gareth Evans and Matt Flannery would be returning. Similarly no announcement was made as to whether series directors Corin Hardy and Xavier Gens would be back, though all have said they’d have an appetite to come back to the show.
At the end of series one Alex is still alive and heading up the business left by the assassination of Finn Wallace (Colm Meaney). Alex’s dad Ed Dumani has shot matriarch Marian Wallace (Michelle Fairley) and left her for dead, but Finn’s lover Floriana (Arta Dobroshi) comes for her offering help. Meanwhile, Luan (Orli Shuka) has gone back to Albania and Lale (Narges Rashidi) has gone back to Kurdistan. But there’s no way the respective murders of the Nigerians and Asif’s son Nasir will go without retribution… It’s a complicated and multi-layered show that could go in many directions. Gangs Of London is heading to AMC in the US this Autumn, after original US partner Cinemax pulled out – AMC and will be a producing partner on series two. Zai Bennett, Sky UK’s Managing Director of Content, said: Gangs of London is released on Blu-ray, DVD & Digital from July 27
