Taboo is a BBC television drama series that aired on BBC One in the UK and on FX in the US in 2017. It is produced by Scott Free London and Hardy Son & Baker. A second series was announced in March 2017. The series was created by Steven Knight, Tom Hardy, and his father Chips Hardy and it was based on a story written by the father-son duo.

When Can We Expect Season 2?

Season 2 of Taboo can be expected in late 2020 or 2021. This delay is because of the busy schedules of Tom Hardy and Steven Knight. Knight and Hardy were shooting for Peaky Blinders and Venom respectively. But the wait for season 2 could extend up to late 2021 because of the global pandemic!

The series shows the negative and dark side of London in the 19th century. It shows political and business corruption, gangs, the misery of the working class, and the wealth of the rich. The series has received many positive reviews with several appreciations for Hardy’s acting, presentation, and pacing!

The climax episode of season one is filled with drama! James was framed for Winter’s murder by the East India Company. Then James escapes from prison with Strange’s help. Then James, Atticus, Michael, Lorna and their associates plan to escape by a ship arranged by Strange. The final scene ends with a shoot-out by the sea and then James and his associates set sail for America, discrediting the East India Company.

From then on, fans have been eagerly waiting for the release of the next season of Taboo. Let’s just hope that the wait from now isn’t that long!

I am a passionate writer just trying to figure out life and myself. Writing has always been a way of expressing myself, hence most of my work is pretty raw and unprocessed. I try my best to be unapologetic about what I write. This internship in ByProduct Ventures has allowed me to push myself and see what all I am capable of. I have always pictured the future me as someone very creative and this opportunity takes me one step towards that. Apart from writing, I also love expressing myself by painting or drawing. All I want from life is to keep learning, falling and rising and to live every moment like it is my last! (aditigautam1705@gmail.com)
