‘Gangs of London’ Season 2 Get October Premiere Date

10

Sky has officially announced that ‘Gangs Of London‘ will return for Season 2 this October on Sky and streaming service NOW.

Set in the heart of one of the world’s most dynamic and multicultural cities, ‘Gangs of London’ tells the story of a city being torn apart by the turbulent power struggles of the international gangs that control it.

Season one introduced us to the Wallace family, who found themselves with a sudden power vacuum when the head of London’s most powerful crime family is assassinated. In stepped the impulsive Sean Wallace (played by Joe Cole), who, with the help of the Dumani family headed by Ed Dumani (Lucian Msamati – ‘Game of Thrones’), attempted to take his father’s place. However, things did not end well for either of the families involved…

WARNING – SEASON ONE SPOILERS BELOW…

One year after the death of Sean Wallace and the violent reckonings of series one, the map and soul of London has been redrawn. The surviving Wallaces are scattered, the Dumanis broken and estranged, and ex-undercover cop Elliot is now being forced to work for the investors. To restore order, the investors have aligned behind heroin baron Asif Afridi and together they have installed a new ruling force in London in the form of brutal gang leader – Koba. His vision for the criminal landscape is a dictatorship, a world in which old-school gangster codes don’t exist and in which he holds a complete monopoly over London’s drug trade. But this monopoly can’t last forever. The gangs are fighting back – who will win the battle for the soul of London?

Season two will see our old favourites and new players fight back against the new order, forcing sworn enemies to work together and family members to betray each other. Full of twists, turns and exhilarating, cinematic action sequences, the series will introduce us to new characters and unexpected leaders will emerge.

Season two will see the return of Sopé Dìrísù, Paapa Essiedu, Lucian Msamati, Michelle Fairley, Orli Shuka, Pippa Bennett-Warner, Brian Vernel, Narges Rashidi, Asif Raza and Valene Kane reprising their roles. Joining the ensemble cast include Waleed Zuaiter (‘Baghdad Central’, ‘The Spy’) as Koba, French rapper Jasmine Armando in her first TV role as Saba, Fady El-Sayed (‘Baghdad Central’, ‘A Private War’) as Faz, Salem Kali (‘Un Prophete’, ‘Dealer’) as Basem and Aymen Hamdouchi (‘SAS: Red Notice’, ‘Criminal: UK’) as Hakim.

The award-winning series is created by Gareth Evans and his creative partner Matt Flannery. ‘Gangs of London’ is a Pulse Films production in association with SISTER for Sky Studios and AMC. Season 2 is directed by Corin Hardy, Marcela Said and Nima Nourizadeh. The series is written by Tom Butterworth, Lauren Sequeira, Danusia Samal, Rowan Athale, Meg Salter and co-written by Steve Searle.
