London’s underworld never sleeps, and neither do its fans. After the gut-wrenching twists of Season 3—where alliances shattered like glass under a boot and bodies piled up faster than regrets—the news hit like a shotgun blast: Gangs of London is back for Season 4. Sky dropped the bombshell at the Edinburgh TV Festival in late August 2025, promising another round of pulse-pounding action that picks up right where the chaos left off. For those still reeling from that cliffhanger (did Elliot really pull the trigger on Billy? Spoiler: the show’s not saying yet), here’s the full rundown on release buzz, who’s stepping back into the fray, and the fresh hell brewing in the streets.
Gangs of London Season 4 Release Date Updates
Season 3 wrapped its brutal arc back in March 2025 on Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK, leaving viewers stateside still waiting for AMC+ to catch up—fingers crossed that happens soon, because the hype train’s already chugging. The renewal came quicker than expected, just five months after the finale aired, signaling Sky’s confidence in the show’s grip on audiences. Filming kicks off in January 2026, with production aiming to keep that signature raw energy alive.
Expect the new episodes to land sometime in late 2026 or early 2027—think October through March, based on the gaps between past seasons (Season 2 hit in 2022, three years after the 2020 debut).
Gangs of London Season 4 Expected Cast
The beauty of Gangs of London lies in its revolving door of power players—some climb to the top, others get dragged under. Season 3 thinned the herd dramatically, with shocking exits that had everyone gasping (rest in chaos, Sean and Ed). But the core survivors are locked in, ready to carve up the city again.
Leading the charge is Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù as Elliot Carter, the ex-cop who’s now neck-deep in the life, haunted by ghosts and grudges alike. He’s not just starring; Dìrísù’s an executive producer too, so bet on his character’s throne staying shaky but central. Narges Rashidi returns as the fierce Lale, the Kurdish boss whose vengeance arc feels far from over—her takedown of Asif last season was chef’s kiss brutal. Andrew Koji’s Zeek Kimura, the assassin with Wallace blood ties, steals scenes and promises more family drama; fans are already buzzing about his Warrior-honed edge shaking things up further.
Michelle Fairley’s Marian Wallace clings to her empire’s ruins after unimaginable losses, while Pippa Bennett-Warner steps up as Shannon Dumani, poised to redefine her family’s cutthroat legacy without Ed in the mix. T’Nia Miller’s Mayor Simone Thearle, the straight-arrow wildcard pushing that drug-legalization bomb, looks set for a bigger clash with the mobs. Orli Shuka’s Luan Dushaj survives to scheme another day, and Brian Vernel’s Billy… well, that gunshot’s fate hangs like smoke—either way, the ripple effects will sting.
New blood? Expect surprises. The show’s plural title hints at fresh gangs crashing the party—maybe Italian or Eastern European crews to spice the turf wars. No official adds yet, but whispers from producer Hugh Warren tease “an embarrassment of riches” in the lineup, keeping that unpredictable pulse racing.
Gangs of London Season 4 Potential Plot Details
Buckle up—Season 3’s finale didn’t tie bows; it lit fuses. London simmers post-cocaine catastrophe (that spiked shipment wiped out hundreds, remember?), with Elliot crowned uneasy kingpin amid the Dumanis’ fallout. But power’s a slippery blade, and the mayor’s bold play to legalize drugs threatens to torch the whole illegal empire. No more black-market billions if the streets go legit—who adapts, who crumbles?
Elliot’s torment takes center stage: torn between his dead wife’s moral ghost and the rush of ruthlessness, he’ll dodge knives from Lale and Zeek while questioning every move. Zeek’s bombshell as Finn Wallace’s secret son? That’s dynasty-level dynamite, pitting blood against bad blood in ways that could redraw the map. Simone’s war on crime evolves into a full-on assault, forcing gangs to pivot or perish—imagine Albanian holdouts like Luan scheming imports, or street crews going rogue.
Peter McKenna, Season 3’s scribe, floated government crackdowns and escalating Lale-Zeek beefs as key threads, but the creators love swerves. Expect visceral brawls (those one-take fights are legendary), betrayals that hit personal, and a body count climbing toward double digits. It’s not just survival; it’s about who rises from the ashes when the Wallaces’ shadow fades. The plural “gangs” screams expansion—new syndicates, old vendettas, all colliding in a symphony of sirens and sprays.
