AMC+ Gives First Look At 'Gangs of London' Season 2

AMC+ is still part of the upstart set of services that arrived in the second wave of the streaming wars. However, its niche seems to be British-set dramas, fantasy shows about vampires, and the occasional insistence The Walking Dead is still relevant. (Spoiler alert, not so much on that last one.) One of the streaming services' biggest hits has been Gangs of London, a sprawling gangland series based on a video game of the same name.

Season 1 was a Sky Atlantic production, done in conjunction with HBO before the sale of WarnerMedia to AT&T. But after moving the series from the HBO brand to the wastes of Cinemax, the network decided to ditch the production entirely. AMC Networks then picked up the series for its new streaming service and took control of the American half of Season 2. The new set of episodes finally got underway last June but has been beset by shutdowns and delays.

The first season was a ten-part series centering on the Wallace Family vs. the Dumani Family, along with the London Police attempting to keep the peace. The series also featured the Wallace Crime Syndicate members, the Albanian and Nigerian Mafia, Kurdish Militants, a Pakistani Heroin Ring, a couple of Danish Assassins, and a few Welsh Travellers. Though many of those characters were offed, Season 2 promises to be just as complex.
