Filming is now underway on the fourth series of Gangs of London, with Sky confirming the return of the drama in partnership with AMC+. Produced by VICE Studios, the new series brings back a number of familiar faces while introducing new cast members and a fresh creative team.
Returning cast members include Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù, Michelle Fairley, Narges Rashidi and Andrew Koji, alongside Brian Vernel, Orli Shuka, T’Nia Miller, Valene Kane and Pippa Bennett-Warner. Their return continues the story within London’s criminal underworld.
Jack Lothian joins the series as lead writer and executive producer, with Jean Luc Herbulot taking on the role of lead director. Herbulot’s film Saloum premiered in the Midnight Madness strand at the Toronto International Film Festival, the same programme that previously featured The Raid from co creator Gareth Evans and Project Wolf Hunting from earlier series director Kim Hong-sun.
New additions to the cast include Tamara Lawrance as Jo Malik, Luna Fujimoto as Hanaka, Eugene Nomura as Takeshi Kimura and Melika Foroutan as Zerin. The new series will explore shifting alliances and emerging threats within the criminal landscape.
Gangs of London series four is now in production.
Synopsis
As the looming threat of legalisation and government crackdowns tightens its grip on London’s criminal underworld, the gangs are forced into an increasingly volatile fight for survival. Exiled from London, Elliot Carter is on a bloodied path to redemption that draws him back to the capital, where shifting alliances and rising tensions threaten to upend the balance of power. When Zeek Kimura reemerges, backed by a ruthless syndicate from abroad, the stakes escalate and the future of everyone involved, from the Wallaces to Luan, Lale and Elliot himself, is thrown into question.
The series will air on Sky and streaming service NOW in the UK and Ireland, and in the US on AMC+, AMC Global Media’s premium streaming bundle, with NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution handling international sales.
