New Financial Year 2024/2025 Streaming - Gangs of London - Season Two

Gangs of London season two, kicks off one year after the death of Sean Wallace, the investors have seized control of all organized crime in London, with Asif Afridi and Ed Dumani serving as stewards over the other gang bosses. 

Gangs of London was confirmed for a second series premiering in 2022, however In July 2021, production on the second series had been halted for 10 days following a crew member testing positive for COVID-19.

Filming for the second series began on 31 May 2021 and wrapped in February 2022. 

I'm way late to the violent AF second series which premiered in October 2022. A month after it commenced streaming again, the series was renewed for a third season, with production started on October 2023.

There is no news on a streaming date for the third run, however Andrew Koji, Richard Dormer and T'Nia Miller were announced to have joined the cast for the third series.

In the opening episode of this season, The Algerian mafia, led by Basem Soudani, purchase an unauthorized shipment of weapons. Tipped off by Basem's right-hand man Hakim, Asif's enforcer Koba kills the men overseeing the shipment, and tortures Basem's nephew Faz to send a message. 

Faz figures out that Hakim was the inside man, and his sister Saba overhears them arguing. Asif and Koba determine that Luan Dushaj made the unauthorised weapons shipment. Against Ed's wishes, Koba carries out an attack on Luan's home. 

Luan kills his attackers, but Koba abducts Luan's wife. Shannon Dumani is released from prison for the murder of Detective Chung, but cuts contact with her family except for her son. Elliot Carter has been operating abroad as a hitman for the investors, who leverage his service by holding his father hostage. He is called back to London to kill Alex Dumani, who has been running the legitimate side of the Dumani Corporation but struggling with substance abuse and making unauthorised deals. 

Rather than kill Alex, Elliot attempts to give him the thumb drive he received from Sean for blackmail material against the investors. However, Alex gives up hope and commits suicide. Marian Wallace is revealed to be Luan's supplier.

No spoilers for those like me who have taken a while to catch up on the super violent, The Boys level gore, Gangs of London. Either just the second season or both. Now is a good time to catch up with season three no doubt to land, later in 2024. It has been a while between drinks.

Speaking of, I'm back to the cinemas tomorrow. For a popular superhero, teaming up with an X-Man. Yes, I think you can guess what I just saw. Violence levels, similar to that of Stan's exclusive, Gangs of London. So if the Olympics on Stan isn't for you, maybe this is.
