Beginning in September, Sky Atlantic/AMC’s British series “Gangs of London” will shoot its third season. The third season of the criminal thriller will feature extensive filming in London, England, which served as the primary location and setting for the first two seasons. The series, which was created by Gareth Evans and Matt Flannery, focuses mostly on the points of view of Sean Wallace (Joe Cole) and Elliot Carter/Finch (Sope Dirisu), and it covers the struggles between rival gangs and other criminal organisations in modern-day London.
The third season of “Gangs of London” is currently filming, and the recent SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes are not anticipated to have an impact. “Gangs of London” is entirely a British production, and AMC has partnered with original network Sky Atlantic to release the series in the US.
A month or so after the second season’s British premiere, in November 2022, the show was picked up for a third season. Since the second season concludes with numerous cliffhangers, the renewal was anticipated. “It’s completely ready for a third season. The second season’s showrunner, Corin Hardy, expressed his opinion regarding the second season’s conclusion prior to the renewal. “I think you always plan to tell your story and hope that you’re lucky enough to continue it, but ultimately it’s down to how it gets received,” Hardy stated.
‘Peaky Blinders’ star Joe Cole is anticipated to reprise his role as Sean Wallace in the third season’s cast. Sope Dirisu is also anticipated to return because the second season closes with a revelation involving the character Elliot. The likelihood of Lucian Msamati and Pippa Bennett-Warner reprising their roles as Ed Dumani and Shannon, respectively, is very high given Elliot’s connection with the Dumanis. Other returning actors could be Brian Vernel as Billy Wallace, Orli Shuka as Luan, Asif Raza Mir as Asif Afridi, Narges Rashidi as Lale, Jahz Armando as Saba, Fady Elsayed as Faz, etc. Michelle Fairley as Marian Wallace, Fady Elsayed as Faz, etc.
Following the passing of Floriana and Koba, respectively, it is not anticipated that Arta Dobroshi and Waleed Zuaiter will return for the third season. After leaving the show in the second season as a result of the passing of his character Alex Dumani, Paapa Essiedu is reportedly not going to appear in the third season.
The third season is anticipated to focus on Elliot’s rise to power as the new underworld ruler of London after his father’s passing and the ensuing rampage he unleashes, with the help of the Dumanis. Sean is sentenced to prison for killing Koba. He is anticipated to confront Elliot to retake his reign with Billy’s assistance after figuring out a means to escape prison. The third season could air on Sky Atlantic and AMC in the second half of 2024 if production goes according to schedule.
