Sky Atlantic debuted Gangs Of London in 2020, and enjoyed a second series in 2022 despite some claims it was ‘too violent’.

The first season made headlines for its stratospheric levels of violence as its nine episodes featured 113 deaths – 96 people sH๏τ (mostly fatally), 30 stabbings and seven people strangled.

It drew in 2.23 million viewers for its first episode, the channel’s second biggest original drama launch, behind the 2019 hit Chernobyl.

In the first one-and-a-half-hour show, characters are punched 26 times, kicked seven times, four are sH๏τ and three are tortured.

Speaking about the third edition, Dirisu told The Standard in 2023 that fans should expect ‘something special’.
