Gangs of London Plot and Cast
As you’ll know if you’ve seen the first season, Gangs of London transports us to a gritty version of England’s capital city dominated by warring criminal factions, and season 2 looks set to deliver even more of the visceral action we’d want to see.
The second season takes place one year after the events of the first and sees the city on the brink of anarchy after the collapse of the Wallace Dumani empire. To try and restore order, The Investors have established a new, domineering force in the city.
One year after the death of Sean Wallace and the violent reckonings of series one, the map and soul of London has been redrawn. The surviving Wallaces are scattered, the Dumanis broken and estranged, and Elliot is now being forced to work for The Investors.
To restore order, The Investors have aligned behind heroin baron Asif Afridi and together they have installed a new ruling force in London in the form of a brutal gang leader — Koba. His 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 monopoly over London’s drug trade. But this monopoly can’t last forever. The gangs are fighting back — who will win the battle for London’s soul?”
The returning cast includes Sope Dirisu, Michelle Fairley, Brian Vernel, Paapa Essiedu, Pippa Bennett-Warner, Lucian Msamati, Valene Kane, Orli Shuk, Narges Rashidi, and Asif Raza. Sky has also confirmed that five new actors have joined the ensemble cast.
