New players enter the fight for control of London’s underworld. Filming begins for season four of the Sky and AMC+ original series, Gangs Of London.

Sky has today confirmed that filming is underway on the fourth series of the hit Sky and AMC+ Original drama Gangs of London. The drama is produced by VICE Studios. Meanwhile, Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù, Michelle Fairley, Narges Rashidi, and Andrew Koji are among the returning cast.

Jack Lothian (Strike Back, Who Is Erin Carter?) joins as lead writer and executive producer alongside Jean Luc Herbulot (Zero, Saloum) as lead director. Herbulot’s film Saloum premiered in the Midnight Madness strand at TIFF, the same program that has featured The Raid from Gangs of London co-creator Gareth Evans and Project Wolf Hunting from previous series director Kim Hong-sun, placing him firmly within the high-octane, action-driven lineage of the series.

THE RETURNING AND NEW CAST

The returning cast includes Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù (My Father’s Shadow). Michelle Fairley (Queen Charlotte). Andrew Koji, who will next star in Street Fighter. Narges Rashidi, a recent RTS winner and BAFTA nominee for Prisoner 951. Brian Vernel (Slow Horses). Orli Shuka (Black Bag). T’Nia Miller (Years & Years). Valene Kane (Blue Lights) and Pippa Bennett-Warner (See How They Run).

Joining the cast for series four, where shifting alliances and new threats reshape London’s criminal underworld, are Tamara Lawrance (Small Axe) as Jo Malik. Luna Fujimoto (Sniper: G.R.I.T.-Global Response & Intelligence Team) joins as Hanaka. Eugene Nomura (Tokyo Vice) appears as Takeshi Kimura. In addition, Melika Foroutan (The Empress) plays Zerin.

THE PREMISE

As the looming threat of legalization and government crackdowns tightens its grip on London’s criminal underworld, the gangs are forced into an increasingly volatile fight for survival. Exiled from London, Elliot Carter is on a bloodied path to redemption that draws him back to the capital. Shifting alliances and rising tensions threaten to upend the balance of power. When Zeek Kimura reemerges, he brings with him a ruthless syndicate from abroad, raising the stakes and putting everyone involved. From the Wallaces to Luan, Lale, and Elliot himself— in jeopardy.
