Your support makes all the difference.The second season of Netflix’s Top Boy has started filming, having been delayed by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
The acclaimed crime drama aired for two series on Channel 4 in 2011 and 2013, before being revived for Netflix in 2019.
Stars Ashley Walters and Kano announced the commencement of the shoot in a video posted to Twitter and Instagram.
“We’re obviously shooting Top Boy,” says Walters in the video, filming in a trailer park.
“You asked for it; we gave it to you,” he adds.
Rapper and actor Kano, real name Kane Robinson, who plays Gerard “Sully” Sullivan on the series, then turns the camera around, and says: “There you go, season two. Netflix. Let’s go.”
Top Boy had been scheduled to film in spring 2020, but was one of many TV series to suffer delays as the country entered lockdown due to the pandemic.
The series is created by Ronan Bennett. Top Boy’s original episodes were acquired by Netflix before the last series debuted, and given the subtitle Top Boy: Summerhouse, to distinguish them from the Netflix original run.
