The original team is back.
Since ending in 2013, Top Boy has acquired a cult status mainly due to the fact that it has been widely available on Netflix.
In case you haven’t seen it, the gripping, gritty British drama series follows two drug dealers at a public housing estate in East London.
Created and written by Ronan Bennett, we’re told that Season 3 will consist of ten new episodes and it’s set to premiere as a Netflix original series in 2019.
As for the plot, the new episodes pick up as Dushane (Ashley Walters) returns from exile to his home in London to reclaim his throne in the highly lucrative drug market. He teams up with Sully (Kane Robinson), his spiritual brother, partner, and sometime rival who is also returning to the same streets after his own form of exile – prison – comes to an end. Awaiting them both is Jamie, the young, hungry and ruthless gang leader whose ambitions leave no place for Dushane and Sully.
Speaking about the new series, Bennett said: “I am delighted to be reunited once more with the Top Boy team – our wonderful cast and my partners at Cowboy Films – and to have Drake and SpringHill as new collaborators. And I could not be prouder to be doing the show with Netflix. We couldn’t be more excited for Netflix members around the world and a new generation of fans to discover the authentic, raw and real world of Top Boy,” said Cindy Holland, Vice President, Original Content for Netflix. “Drake came to us several months ago with a passion to help bring this series back to life, and we’re thrilled to support the original creative team to do just that.”
We can’t wait.
