Fans of the brutal Sky drama Gangs of London can officially celebrate, as a fourth season of the hit show has been given the green light. The confirmation ends months of speculation following the UK release of the highly anticipated third series.
Season 4 Renewal Officially Announced
The future of the gritty crime saga is now secure. Sky confirmed the renewal for season 4 at the Edinburgh TV Festival in August, locking in more episodes of the capital's underworld drama. This announcement came ahead of the third season's debut in the United States on AMC Plus, where it recently became available to stream.
The third series itself made a long-awaited return to UK screens on March 20, 2025, nearly three years after the second season aired in 2022. It plunged viewers back into the violent power struggles of London's criminal factions, focusing heavily on the transformed journey of Elliot, the former undercover police officer now entrenched as a major gangland figure.
Fan Power Drives the Show's Future
Interestingly, the show's lead actor had already hinted that the destiny of Gangs of London lay in the hands of its audience. In an interview with Digital Spy prior to the official renewal, Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù, who portrays the central character Elliot, made it clear that viewer engagement was crucial.
"It's up to the viewers whether or not a fourth installment goes into production," Dìrísù stated. He elaborated, explaining that sustained audience interest directly translates to more story. "The more people that watch it, the more people that engage with it, the more likely we are to continue to make it."
What Comes Next for Gangs of London?
With the formal renewal secured last summer, production on the next chapter is expected to move forward. While specific plot details for season 4 remain under wraps, the explosive conclusion of season three undoubtedly sets the stage for further intense conflict and shifting alliances within London's savage hierarchy.
The show's success underscores the strong appetite for high-stakes, cinematic television drama centred on London's darker side. As fans on both sides of the Atlantic digest the latest season, they can now look ahead with certainty to the next explosive installment in the Gangs of London saga.
