Gangs of London Season 3 Release Date: The streets of London are set to be rocked once again by the violent underworld of Gangs of London. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming third season, including potential release details, cast updates, and more.
When Will Gangs of London Season 3 Be Released?
While fans have eagerly awaited confirmation of Season 3, Sky finally made the announcement in October 2023 that filming had begun. The wait is almost over! Production has been underway, with Kim Hong-sun directing and Peter McKenna leading as the head writer and executive producer. Filming kicked off with a table read in September 2023, giving us a glimpse of what’s to come.
Given the show’s history of long production times—two years between Season 1 and Season 2—it’s safe to assume that Season 3 might take a little longer to hit the screens. However, expectations are high, with Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù (Elliot Finch) teasing that Season 3 will be the series’ most exciting yet. Dìrísù expressed his enthusiasm for the season, calling his on-set experiences the best in his three years working on the show. Fans are in for a treat!
Which Cast Members Are Returning for Gangs of London Season 3?
The core cast of Gangs of London will return for the new season, including:
- Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù as Elliot Finch, now deeply entrenched in London’s criminal world.
- Joe Cole as Sean Wallace, who will continue to play a pivotal role in the unfolding drama.
- Michelle Fairley as Marian Wallace
- Brian Vernel as Billy Wallace
- Narges Rashidi as Lale
- Asif Raza Mir as Asif Afridi

Several other fan favorites will also be back, although some characters from previous seasons met tragic ends. Koba, played by Waleed Zuaiter, and Floriana, portrayed by Arta Dobroshi, won’t be returning due to their deaths in the past season.
Additionally, new faces have been announced for Season 3. Andrew Koji (Warrior) will join the cast as an assassin central to the season’s mystery, and Richard Dormer (Game of Thrones) will play Cornelius Quinn, an old rival for Marian and Ed. T’Nia Miller (Sex Education) will portray the new Mayor of London, and Phil Daniels and Ruth Sheen will play a married couple with deep ties to London’s criminal past.
What Can We Expect in Gangs of London Season 3?
Season 3 will pick up with London in chaos after a cocaine shipment is spiked, killing hundreds and sparking violent power struggles. Elliot Finch, now working alongside the Dumanis, must navigate the aftermath of this deadly crisis while the rival gangs vie for control. With the Dumanis thrown into disarray and the Wallaces reeling from the previous season’s betrayals, London’s criminal landscape is set to change drastically.
Elliot’s new role as a kingpin will be tested by old rivalries, while new alliances and enemies emerge. The Wallaces, despite recent setbacks, will not stay down for long. Sean Wallace, even though imprisoned, has the potential to break free and reclaim his position, with the help of his brother Billy.
Additionally, Lale, who survived a near-death situation in Season 2, is back with a vengeance. Her alliance with Afridi will further complicate the ongoing battles for supremacy in London’s criminal underworld.
Season 3 will continue to explore London’s diverse communities, with special attention given to the African diaspora. The show’s focus on representing London’s multiculturalism has been one of its standout features, as highlighted by Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù, who expressed pride in being part of a project that showcases the city’s rich, varied culture.
