Dave (L) and Kano in Top Boy.
Netflix
Top Boy will return on September 13 with 10 new episodes of the U.K. gang drama due to land on Netflix thanks, in some small part, to executive producer Drake. Today, August 27, sees the arrival of the first full-length trailer for the show. Check it out above. A teaser trailer for the show was debuted before a Drake concert in London in April.
A statement from Netflix confirms that "the new episodes pick up as Dushane (Ashley Walters) returns from exile to his home in London to reclaim his throne in the highly lucrative drug market. He teams up with Sully (grime MC Kano), his spiritual brother, partner and sometime rival who is also returning to the same streets after his own form of exile – prison – comes to an end. Awaiting them both is Jamie (Micheal Ward), the young, hungry and ruthless gang leader whose ambitions leave no place for Dushane and Sully."
Top Boy originally aired on Channel 4 in the U.K. and gained an international audience via Netflix. The show was axed after two seasons in 2013 before being revived by Netflix in 2017. New additions to the Top Boy cast for 2019 include musicians Dave and Little Simz.
