Gangs of London season 2 might not be ready to unveil its premiere date yet, but there's a meaty new trailer to chew on while we wait.
Featuring Westeros' very own Michelle Fairley once again as Marian Wallace – this universe's version of Aunt Peggy from Peaky Blinders – and the supporting players of Ṣọpẹ Dìrísù, Paapa Essiedu, Lucian Msamati, Orli Shuka and Pippa Bennett-Warner, it's all-out war for metropolitan turf as a new threat enters the game.
We enjoyed that behind-the-scenes teaser last December, but things have been taken up a notch now.

For a detailed explanation of what's to come in the second season, look no further than this official synopsis:
"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 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.
"His 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. The gangs are fighting back – who will win the battle for London's soul?"

Let's see how they fare in this blistering thriller.
