Written by John Edward Betancourt

One thing that we can all agree upon, is that the AMC+ series, Gangs of London, is one of the best crime thrillers to hit the airwaves in recent years. For its no-holds barred approach to telling its intense and violent story, allowed for us to look at the criminal underworld in a terrifying new light. One that showed off the fear of this world and how brutal it can become and well, it is a story that we’ve been anxiously awaiting more of. For AMC+ quickly renewed the series for a second season after it captivated our hearts.
​
But alas… we’ve heard little about when we can expect that new season and what it will be like. But thankfully, our long wait regarding those questions has come to an end. For earlier today, AMC+ announced that season two will be arriving on the network on 11/17/22, and well… it is clearly going to be an intense and bleak ride. As evidenced by the powerhouse trailer that AMC+ released alongside this news and well, since you’re dying to get a sample of year two of this gritty and brilliant show, here is that trailer and some details regarding the new season… courtesy of AMC+.

‘In a foreboding and high-octane trailer, AMC+ has announced the return of its lauded original series Gangs of London, which will debut its much anticipated second season on Thursday, November 17 with two episodes. The critically-acclaimed, award-winning drama became an international sensation in its first season, with its shocking yet artfully-choreographed action scenes and stunt work. Following the premiere, one episode of the eight-part season will debut Thursdays on AMC+, AMC Networks’ premium streaming bundle.
 
In the second season, a new, darker era of chaos and turbulent power struggles comes to London. One year after the death of Sean Wallace and the violent reckonings of season one, the map and soul of the city has been redrawn – the surviving Wallaces are scattered, the Dumanis broken and estranged, and ex-undercover cop Elliot Finch (Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù, Humans, Mr. Malcolm’s List) is now being forced to work for the Investors. As the Investors look down on a city sliding into chaos, they decide enough is enough and bring in reinforcements to restore control. Old favorites and new players fight back against the new order, forcing sworn enemies to work together and family members to betray each other.
