It’s great to see the show return to the core essence of what made it so enthralling to begin with, complete with a big fight in the laundrette and another in Luan’s house. The first episode of Gangs of London Season 2 gets off to a fiery, pulsating start as it seems like war is about to break out once more. As the episode closes out, we pan across to Marian Wallace, who happens to be the one with all the guns. Something very bad is about to happen, so he puts his wife and kids in the saferoom and hurries over to where he’s stashed his guns. Sean gave it to Elliot and in exchange, he tells Alex to use it to blackmail the Investors and get them a way out of this mess. A red car smashes into the back of his, and as the driver gets out to investigate, he’s shot in the head. Outside, Koba is waiting in the car but the sparks of war ignite. Ed can sense war is on the horizon and shows up to see Luan Dushaj. Asif is using his dog to keep all the criminals in check, ruling with an iron fist and fear rather than in unison. He reminds them what happened to Finn Wallace – and the drama that ensued after. Elliot has been forced to work to protect his family, and in particular his father, who is being kept captive by Miss Kane and the others. The gang work quickly, making sure they’re not detected as they move the package to a secure location.

For season two of Gangs Of London AMC delivers the three Bs: Bullets, bones, and blood.

Koba’s vision for the criminal landscape is a dictatorship, a world in which old school gangster codes don’t exist and in which he holds a complete monopoly over London’s drug trade. The series returns this November on AMC+, but star Michelle Fairley has a special treat for anyone that likes watching a person have their throat slit by broken glass: A very red band trailer. We don’t want to ruin anything, but you do see a man’s cheek melt in real time.

Gangs of London season two is set one year after the conclusion of the first run and the apparent death of gang leader Sean Wallace (Peaky Blinders actor Joe ...

Asif Raza will play Asif Afridi, the drug kingpin of the Pakistani drug cartel, and Narges Rashidi will portray Lale, who is hellbent on revenge against Asif. Despite his character, Sean Wallace, being shot at the end of Gangs of London’s first season, many fans were hoping to see Peaky Blinders actor Joe Cole make a shock return. After violent reckonings of season one, the map of London has been redrawn. Gangs of London is back on our TVs with more ultra-violence and family feuds today. Who else in the Gangs of London cast? Who is joining the Gangs of London cast?

As the complex crime drama returns, we catch up with the main events of Gangs Of London's first season.

Gangs of London is available to stream on Sky Atlantic in the UK. After the collapse in relations between the Wallaces and the Dumanis, Marian and Ed meet in a graveyard. The matriarch of the Wallace family, Marian is a formidable force to be reckoned with. The final straw comes when he fails to save a fellow “UC” from a grisly death at the hands of the Wallace gang, and the order is given to “bring him in”. It turns out that, on the night he died, Finn had been planning to visit a young woman named Floriana (Arta Dobroshi), who has gone missing. In return, Finn had agreed to “wash” half a billion pounds’ worth of Luan’s money – a deal that he’d kept off the books. With the revelation that it was the investors who commissioned the hit on Finn – as a response to him threatening to quit the business – and Ed and Alex’s decision to go along with their master plan, Sean dramatically severs ties with the Dumanis. But his closeness to Sean and his burgeoning relationship with Ed’s daughter Shannon (Pippa Bennett-Warner) causes a headache for Vic’s superiors, who fear he’s getting in too deep. Finn’s death leaves a huge void – in his family, his business (property development with a side of money laundering) and London’s criminal underworld. Former squaddie turned undercover cop Elliot (Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù) manages to worm his way into Sean’s inner circle by helping to track down and rescue Finn’s injured driver – gaining vital information on the kingpin’s killer in the process. Finn Wallace (Colm Meaney) is dead – shot in the face by a frightened Traveller kid while visiting a mysterious flat in “Little Albania”. Centred around the death of London crime kingpin Finn Wallace and the power vacuum it creates, the show introduced us to a variety of international criminal factions all vying to be the city’s top dogs.
