Top Boy

Last season, the gang framed rival Jamie (Micheal Ward) and then subsequently offered him an olive branch. Here, Jamie is out of prison and working with Dushane ...

Top Boy is a show that always stays true to itself: made for people who have watched and loved it from the very start. Meanwhile trouble is on the horizon thanks to Jamie’s simmering resentment at his new subservience to his former adversary. “You’re a victim of your own success,” Dushane Hill’s money launderer tells him in the new series of Top Boy. It certainly seems from this opener like things are going well for Hackney’s drug kingpin.

In 'Top Boy' season 4, Netflix is back for more thrilling dalliances with east London's drug gangs. Strap yourself in...

Elsewhere, there’s an expanded list of locations (Morocco, Spain, and, more locally, Peckham). These add an international flavour to the show, but the heart of Top Boy remains in its well-drawn ensemble of characters. He has some big decisions to make about his future, and the future of his two younger brothers, with Ward really selling the quiet fury of a character who’s used to being in control. Despite the cast of anti-heroes and antagonists, creator Ronan Bennett treats each one with sympathy and understanding. Dushane had his fair share of problems during the reboot, but eventually managed to best young pretender Jamie (Micheal Ward) and consolidate his position at the head of the drug trade. Robinson portrays that pain and conflict beautifully over this new run, as Sully tries to find his place in the world. After murdering childhood friend Dris (Shone Romulus) at the end of last season and still dealing with the loss of Jason (Ricky Smarts) in a house fire, Sully is a man weighed down by his decisions.

Little did Rashard know then, that a chance meeting with Ian Katz – Chief content officer (C4), while he was working as a journalist, would enable his script writing dream to come to life almost a decade later. Landing his first professional credits co-writing the forthcoming season of the UK’s most anticipated and acclaimed crime drama series, Rashard’s story is one of persistence and dogged determination. He told The Voice that his journey to becoming a full-fledged script writer was an unconventional one which was all kicked off by a lightbulb moment when he watched Top Boy in 2011.

The latest season of Netflix's London-set crime drama sets up a potentially explosive fifth outing.

This seems certain to be explored more if Top Boy returns – and we can't imagine Sully's actions will have done wonders for Dushane's stress levels... Is studious Aaron, who always resisted being dragged into Jamie's criminal style, now doomed to follow in his brother's footsteps? Kadeem Ramsay won't be returning as Kit either, with Jamie having executed his treacherous no. Will Stef want revenge? With a more international feel that took the story to Spain and Morocco as Dushane's drug empire expanded, the latest batch of episodes saw the show on absolutely storming form – read our Top Boy review for our full verdict.

The Summerhouse estate is such a key part of the series’ identity that the original two series which aired on Channel 4 have been rebranded on Netflix as Top Boy: Summerhouse. Outdoor scenes in and around the estate were mainly filmed on the Heygate Estate in Elephant and Castle, London. However, this estate was demolished in 2014, which meant that Top Boy needed a new filming location when returning for a new series in 2019.
