One year after the death of Sean Wallace and the violent reckonings of series one, the map and soul of London has been redrawn. The surviving Wallaces are scattered, the Dumanis broken and estranged, and ex-undercover cop Elliot Carter is now being forced to work for the investors.

To restore order, the investors have aligned behind heroin baron Asif Afridi and together they have installed a new ruling force in London in the form of brutal gang leader - Koba. He and his paramilitary enforcers have stamped a new kind of authority; battlefield atrocities, torture, and family kidnap, all coldly designed to terrorise the other gangs into submission.

Koba’s vision for the criminal landscape is a dictatorship, a world in which old school gangster codes don’t exist and in which he holds a complete monopoly over London’s drug trade.

But this monopoly can’t last forever, and when the Investors send Elliot back into London’s underworld again to investigate a series of gangland assassinations, he’ll find an undercurrent of rebellion.

As we traverse this new landscape with Elliot, he’ll uncover secret agendas and surprising alliances hiding in plain sight. Marian Wallace and her supporters may be in exile, but there is a growing swell of support for the old ways.

But as war looms, will opposition come in the form of the old guard, or from an entirely new faction? Who truly has the power to overthrow the current regime and win the battle for London’s soul?

Series 2 of Gangs of London sees our old favourites and new players fight back against the new order, forcing sworn enemies to work together and family members to betray each other. Full of twists, turns, brutal murders and exhilarating, cinematic action sequences, the series will introduce us to new characters and unexpected leaders will emerge.
