Netflix's 'Top Boy' is back for season 3. Here's what you need to know about whether there'll be another season or a spinoff.
- "Top Boy" season three is now streaming on Netflix.
- Irish actor Barry Keoghan joins Ashley Walters and Kane Robinson in the new season.
"Top Boy" fans were over the moon when Netflix revived the British crime drama in 2019 after a six-year absence, with Drake coming on board as a producer on the series.
The series originally premiered on Channel 4 in the UK in 2011 and aired for two seasons before Netflix took over. (The first two seasons are called "Top Boy: Summerhouse" on Netflix.)
After a blockbuster season two last year (the fourth season overall, including the original Channel 4 series), fans have been desperate to find out what's next for Dushane (Ashley Walters) and Sully (Kane Robinson).
Well, the wait is over, as season three has finally arrived on the streaming service, and sees the duo try to keep their empire from being torn down.
This time, Walters and Robinson are joined by "The Batman" star Barry Keoghan as a fearsome new character, Jonny.
Now that season three (the fifth season overall) is here, fans may be wondering if there'll be another season. Here's what you need to know.
Will there be a 'Top Boy' season four?
Unfortunately, "Top Boy" season three is the last outing for Sully and Dushane, and it'll finish telling the story that creator Ronan Bennett started telling back in 2011 in "Top Boy: Summerhouse."
Speaking to GQ, Walters noted that Netflix didn't want the show to end, but the decision was ultimately made by the show's cast.
Walters said: "Kane and I were like, personally, we can't. We don't think it's the right thing to do. It may have gone on too long anyway."
He added: "Not that it's not been great and the seasons have all been great and everyone's loved them and I've loved them but it wouldn't have been right. I like to end on a high."
Will there be a 'Top Boy' spinoff?
When Netflix confirmed that the latest season of "Top Boy" would be its last, Walters and Robinson released a statement via Tudum to thank fans of the show for keeping the story going for so many years.
"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," said the 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."
They added: "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. We're very excited about what's next and thank you for riding with us. We appreciate you. See you again soon."
There's a sense of finality to the statement, which suggests that a spinoff isn't on the cards — at least not right now.
"Top Boy" is streaming now on Netflix.
