The crime drama Top Boy seemed to come to an end after Channel 4 cancelled it back in 2013.
But the show – starring Ashley Walters and Kano Robinson – found new life on Netflix, after making a celebrity fan out of Canadian rapper Drake, who joined the show as an executive producer.
The first Netflix season was released in 2019 and was met with critical acclaim, proving to be well worth the six-year wait.
And ever since, fans have been wondering when the show will return for a fourth season, particularly after Drake confirmed it would happen way back in January 2020.
So, is there a release date for fans to look forward to?
When does the new season of Top Boy come out?
It’s finally been announced: Top Boy returns to Netflix on Friday, March 18.
The new series was meant to start shooting nearly two years ago now, back May 2020. But like many productions, it was postponed following the Covid-19 outbreak.
Cameras were confirmed to be rolling back in December 2020 by stars Walters and Robinson – with the series going by the name of ‘season two’, what with it being its second Netflix series.
On the shoot, Walters said: ‘Because of Covid, we’ve lost so many locations so we’re just having to move with what we can. One day we’re doing [episode] six, then we’re back to one, then to three.
‘It’s been difficult, but rest assured to everyone listening or watching, we’ve got another banger for ya. It’s definitely going to be good.’
