Sky today confirms that filming is underway on the fourth series of the hit Sky and AMC+ Original drama Gangs of London, produced by VICE Studios, with Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù, Michelle Fairley, Narges Rashidi and Andrew Koji 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 programme 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 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) as Hanaka, Eugene Nomura (Tokyo Vice) as Takeshi Kimura, and Melika Foroutan (The Empress) as Zerin. 

Synopsis 

As the looming threat of legalisation 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, where shifting alliances and rising tensions threaten to upend the balance of power. When Zeek Kimura reemerges, backed by a ruthless syndicate from abroad, the stakes escalate and the future of everyone involved, from the Wallaces to Luan, Lale and Elliot himself, is thrown into question.
