It’s only been a couple of weeks since the second season of ‘Top Boy’ landed on Netflix, but the streaming platform has already confirmed that a third season is set to go into production this summer – and it will also be its last.

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.

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.

We’re very excited about what’s next and thank you for riding with us.

We appreciate you. See you again soon.

I’ve gotta be honest, I didn’t think season two of ‘Top Boy’ was anywhere near as good as the first one, but that shocking final scene set things up very nicely for the next season and it sort of makes sense that it will be the last one. I just find it kind of weird that they’re ending it on three seasons when it’s so successful? I guess it’s good to go out on a high, but most shows normally have at least four or five seasons in them before the ending. Let’s hope they stick this one.
