The final season was confirmed back in March, and has been labelled a "final reckoning" for the characters.
"For those that have followed the journey from the start, you will know how much this show means to everyone on our team and we wholeheartedly know how much it means to you," Walters and Robinson said at the time in a statement. "These characters have been a part of our lives for over a decade now and without everyone's support we couldn't have come this far.
"Whilst the journeys of Dushane and Sully have remained at the core of the show, the new characters that have entered the world of Top Boy have become a key part of the show's legacy, representing each new storyline in a raw, authentic way.

"With all this being said, and staying true to our original goal, every story must have an ending and so season three will be our finale. A chance to come full circle and end the journey in the right way."
Top Boy, which focuses on drug dealers Dushane and Sully, first aired for two seasons between 2011 and 2013 on Channel 4, before being revived on Netflix in 2019.
Top Boy season four is available to stream now on Netflix.
