The waiting is over! Taboo season two is officially in development, with Tom Hardy confirming his return as the melancholic James Keziah Delaney in this gripping 19th-century thriller.

Co-created by Hardy, Steven Knight and Chips Hardy, the series delves into the dark entanglements of 1814 London, where Delaney battles the East India Company, corruption and her own demons to reclaim her father’s shipping empire. The intense drama of the first season, supernatural clues and Hardy’s magnetic performance earned him a loyal fanbase.

With six of the eight episodes already written, season two promises explosive action, deeper mysteries, and a trip west to America. Fans can expect striking visuals and a stellar cast, which could include Jessie Buckley and Stephen Graham. Get ready for an exciting comeback!
