Gangs of London was a major hit when it landed in 2020, becoming Sky Atlantic\u2019s second-biggest original drama launch ever<\/a> and winning four BAFTA Cymru awards.<\/p>\n

Therefore, anticipation is sky high for the upcoming second season, so it\u2019s good that we now have a new official trailer to sink our teeth into \u2013 and it looks just as bloody and explosive as the first.<\/p>\n

The new footage is full of gunfights, action and ominous messages, as Michelle Fairley\u2019s Marian Wallace ends the trailer by saying: \u201cYou understand what it took to build this city and you know the pain of losing it. London belongs to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Check out the full Gangs of London<\/a> season 2 trailer in all its glory here.<\/p>\n\n<p>The official synopsis for the new season states: \u201cOne year after the death of Sean Wallace and the violent reckonings of series 1, the map and soul of London has been redrawn. The surviving Wallaces are scattered, the Dumanis broken and estranged, and ex-undercover cop Elliot is now being forced to work for the investors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo 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 brutal gang leader \u2013 Koba. His vision for the criminal landscape is a dictatorship, a world in which old school gangster codes don\u2019t exist and in which he holds a complete monopoly over London\u2019s drug trade.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut this monopoly can\u2019t last forever. The gangs are fighting back \u2013 who will win the battle for London\u2019s soul?\u201d<\/p> <p>The second season will see stars \u1e62\u1ecdp\u1eb9\u0301 D\u00ecr\u00eds\u00f9, Paapa Essiedu, Lucian Msamati and Michelle Fairley reprise their roles. Meanwhile, Orli Shuka, Pippa Bennett-Warner, Brian Vernel, Narges Rashidi, Asif Raza and Valene Kane will also be returning.<\/p>\n<p>The series is also welcoming some fresh faces to the cast, including Waleed Zuaiter (Baghdad Central), Jasmine Armando, Fady El-Sayed (Baghdad Central), Salem Kali (Dealer) and Aymen Hamdouchi (Criminal: UK).<\/p>\n<p>D\u00ecr\u00eds\u00f9 previously told <a href=\""https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/"\">RadioTimes.com<\/a> exclusively that while <a href=\""https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/drama\/gangs-of-london-pandemic-season-3-exclusive-newsupdate\/"\">he doesn\u2019t know if there will be a third season<\/a> and will wait to \u201csee how people respond to\u201d the second, he does \u201creally hope it will be a series that is really popular and successful and that everyone can connect with\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHopefully, with that success and popularity, there is a demand for more,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gangs of London season 2 will air on Sky and NOW later in 2022 \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.awin1.com\/cread.php?id=489797&clickref=radiotimes-0&awinmid=11005&p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sky.com%2Fshop%2Ftv"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""sponsored" noopener noreferrer\">catch up on the first season on Sky now<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><strong>For more to watch, check out our\u00a0<a href=\""https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/"\">TV guide<\/a>\u00a0or visit our\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\""s1"\"><a href=\""https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/drama\/"\"><b>Drama<\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><strong>hub for all the latest news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\""post__content-end\" row=\"\" hidden-print=\"\">\n<div class=\""editor-content\" mb-lg=\"\" hidden-print=\"\" js-piano-locked-content=\"\">\n<div class=\""editor-content\" mb-lg=\"\" hidden-print=\"\" js-piano-locked-content=\"\">\n<div class=\""editor-content\" mb-lg=\"\" hidden-print=\"\" js-piano-locked-content=\"\">\n<p><b>The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/radiotimes.com\/magazine-subscription?utm_term=evergreen-article"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener noopener noreferrer\" noreferrer=\"\" data-auth=\""NotApplicable"\" data-linkindex=\""0"\">subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.
