‘Top Boy’ set to be revived by Netflix for two new series

[TheFuser]

Reports are suggesting that Top Boy is set to be revived by Netflix, with the streaming service planning to make two more series of the show.

The acclaimed drama, based around the lives of London drug dealers and street gangs, began in 2011 and ran for two series on Channel 4.


Following reports that Drake has bought the rights to the show, Radio Times now reports that Netflix are set to announce that it has acquired Top Boy, with a third and fourth series coming on the platform.

Ashley Walters – who portrayed Dushane in the show – has told BBC Newsbeat that there’s nothing to confirm “as of yet”, but that “there may be an update next month”.

It wouldn’t be the first time Netflix has acquired a Channel 4 show, with the service picking up Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror in 2015.

Makes sense why hes made all those relationships with uk artists and why all those uk grime and soul artists were on his last album..i can see him controlling the music for the series and doing a compilation of uk artists for an official "Topboy soundtrack"..

Smart kid
