Set in the fictional Summerhouse area of London’s Hackney district, ‘Top Boy’ is a British crime drama series about two drug dealers and friends – Dushane and Sully – who want to become the richest men on the block. Will Top Boy season 3 exist? Let’s find out!
To get closer to their goal, they decided to team up with Bobby Raikes, the top don in the region. They soon become embroiled in a rivalry between Bobby Raikes and another drug dealer Kamale, which leads to the two suffering dire consequences. The show, created by Ronan Bennett, originally premiered on September 13, 2019 on Netflix.
However, it is a revival of the Channel 4 show that was released on October 31, 2011 and was canceled after just two rounds. Netflix then revived the series, thanks to the interest and influence of Canadian rapper Drake. While the third edition was released as season 1 on streaming platforms, the first two seasons were added to the Netflix streaming library under the title ‘Top Boy: Summerhouse’. This crime drama became one of the most watched shows on Netflix UK and was praised for its storyline and superior production value. So if you want some information about the third season of the series, we have the solution for you!
Top Boy Season 3: Potential Release Date
‘Top Boy’ season 2 premiered on March 18, 2022 Netflix. The second season consisted of eight episodes with a running time of 51-66 minutes each.
As for the crime drama’s third season, here’s what we know. No official announcement has been made regarding the future of ‘Top Boy’. Considering the positive response the series has received over the course of two seasons, not to mention Drake’s support, there is a possibility for an update. Plus, the cliffhanger at the end of season 2 needs at least another season or fans will be left with unanswered questions.
Netflix tends to take several months to assess the show’s performance before making plans for the future. So it could be a few more months before the possible ‘Top Boy’ update is made official. Additionally, the first two seasons have a gap of more than two years between release dates. The pandemic can be partly attributed to production delays, but that may not be the case in the near future. Taking all these factors into account, if the show is updated soon and the team starts filming in the summer of 2022, we can expect ‘Top Boy’ Season 3 to be released in the third quarter of 2023.
Top Boy Season 3: Expected Cast
Lead actors Ashley Walters (Dushane) and Kane Robinson, aka Kano (Sully), will likely return to their roles if the show is reactivated for a third season. The chances of seeing Michael Ward and Kadeem Ramsay in a possible third season are slim considering the fate of their movie characters Jamie and Kit.
However, we expect the rest of the cast to retain their respective roles and return when ‘Top Boy’ is brought in for season 3. They are Jasmine Jobson (Jaq), Araloyin Oshunremi (Stefan), Lisa Dwan (Lizzie), Hope Ikpoku Jr. (Aaron) and Saffron Hocking (Lauryn). We can’t rule out the possibility of seeing some new faces as new characters may be introduced if the show continues.
Top Boy Season 3: Expected Plot
Season two opens with Dushane planning to go legit once and for all, where he comes up with a new business move and makes Jamie an offer. Plus, there’s too much betrayal in the air, especially when Sully puts pressure on Dushane’s parade by doing what he did to Jamie. Throughout Season 2, Dushane’s sanity is questioned as fear takes over him. So we’re not sure how he’ll handle things with Sully.
There’s a lot to look forward to in the third act of “Top Boy,” especially after the cliffhanger at the end of season 2 when Sully shows up at Jamie’s door and shoots him. As betrayal runs rampant throughout the second season, we expect the characters to face the consequences of their actions. As for Aaron’s future, it will be interesting to see the decisions he makes now that he is Stefan’s guardian. Overall, there are a lot of questions that season 3 needs to answer.
