Taboo season 2 on the way!
Tom Hardy will return to screens for as James Delaney in a second season of Taboo. The BBC and FX have renewed the very popular series after the first season finished its run in the UK. More on the Taboo season 2 news below.
Taboo is written by Locke and Allied scribe Steven Knight, who has been quoted in saying that there is a lot more story to be told.
“We think it has got a two and a three certainly, that’s the plan,” Knight said in a recent interview. “After that who knows? This series is eight parts – it’s a lot of time.”
Hardy, who also produces, said, “We are grateful and excited to continue our relationship with the BBC and FX in contributing towards British drama. Fantastic news.”
“James Delaney will continue to explore many realities as he takes his band of misfits to a new world, thanks to FX and the BBC, partners who could not be more suited to collaborating in ground breaking work,” Knight added.
Co-producer Ridley Scott said:
“We’re thrilled people want to know what happens next and that the BBC and FX are up for more adventures with the devil Delaney and the league of the damned.
“Along with our international distributors, Sonar Entertainment, the BBC and FX have been great partners, supporting Taboo at every stage so it could be the dark, dirty brute of a drama that it is.”
It is expected that Taboo season 2 will consist of eight new episodes, the same as its hugely popular first series run.
Taboo is produced by Scott Free London and Hardy Son & Baker. There hasn’t been an official announcement on specific return dates, but we’ll keep you posted on any further Taboo season 2 news as it is fired our way.
