The new, Drake-produced season of Top Boy gets a release date

The third season of the gritty London drama is coming to Netflix next month

There’s been a lot of buzz around the third season of the London gang drama Top Boy, as back in 2017 Drake was revealed as a producer and rumoured to starring, and in 2019 Dave and Little Simz joined the cast. Now, we’ve finally got a release date for the Hackney-estate-based show (now moved to Netflix).

Top Boy season three will be hitting screens on September 13. The reveal was made by lead actor Ashley Walters, who will be reprising his role as Dushane. Kane Robinson (as in Kano) will also be returning for the Netflix revival, which was reportedly made following interest from Drake.

Whether Drake himself will make a surprise cameo or not remains to be seen. “We met up to start talking about the show and we are working out a role for him,” Walters told the Mirror before the new season of Top Boy went into production.
