Gangs of London’s second season has released a brand new trailer, and it is as bloody and gruesome as you could possibly imagine.
The trailer literally opens with someone getting shot in the head, so that should tell you just how dark this season is about to be.
There are explosions, bloody shootouts and stomach-churning hand-to-hand knife fights as Game of Thrones’ Michelle Fairley (returning to play Marian Wallace) says in a voiceover: “You understand what it took to build this city. We can have it back.”

We are not exaggerating when we say this trailer is not for the weak because in one shot, someone gets his throat slit by literally having his face dragged through a line of broken glass shards.
There’s a reason it has an 18+ tag on it, you guys.
What to Read Next
The trailer continues with more gruesome violence as we see shots of the rest of the cast which includes Ṣọpẹ Dìrísù, Paapa Essiedu, Lucian Msamati, Orli Shuka and Pippa Bennett-Warner trying to stay on top of an all-out turf war as a new threat enters the game.
The synopsis of the new season reads: “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?"
And if the trailer is anything to go by, the stakes have never been higher.
Gangs of London returns to Sky and NOW on October 20, 2022.
