The series introduces a grim and stylish portrayal of London’s criminal underworld, where a maze of illicit deals and violent clashes creates an atmosphere of unyielding tension. The world is painted with stark colors and bold strokes, portraying intense conflicts and power struggles that grip the viewer with each scene.

In previous seasons, a complex network of criminal alliances and backstabbings was built, gradually transforming a once undercover cop into a dominant figure in the criminal hierarchy. Now, as the narrative shifts, the central character has fully embraced his new role, navigating an environment where trust is scarce and betrayal is a constant companion.

This latest installment presents a heightened sense of danger, marked by raw displays of force, unexpected armaments, and shocking twists that challenge the established order. Production values have reached a new level, reflecting a keen eye for visual detail and sound that captures the pulse of a city in chaos.

Gangs of London, one of Sky TV’s most iconic series returns for a 3rd explosive season. As chaos engulfs London after a tainted cocaine shipment claims hundreds of lives, familiar faces clash with new players bound by blood, igniting brutal power struggles, shifting alliances, and bitter rivalries. Former undercover cop turned gangster Elliot rises through the ranks alongside the Dumanis, but the crisis throws their operations into turmoil.

Meanwhile, the Wallaces, Luan, Lale, and the city’s street gangs face catastrophic fallout as personal vendettas intertwine with professional battles, feeling violent turf wars. In the ruthless fight for dominance over London’s criminal underworld, no one is safe. This wasn’t an accident—it was a calculated strike. But who’s pulling the strings?

We spoke to new cast members Andrew Koji and Richard Dormer about joining the hugely successful series as new characters and what we can expect from them storyline wise.

The crime gangs are back, baby … well, almost. While there are some pretty righteous gritty crime drama/thriller series out there, none are as brutal, brilliant, and bloody as Gangs of London. It’s been well over two years since season 2 dropped in the UK and the U.S., and since season 3 of the hit series was renewed. Now, thanks to Sky TV’s new trailer, we finally know when to expect its return, and it’s much sooner than you think. Gangs of London season 3 is set to premiere in the UK in March 2025, but when might it premiere in the U.S.?

The first season of Gangs of London premiered in April 2020 both in the UK and the U.S., then we were all left with a super long, nail-biting wait for season 2, which finally dropped in the UK in October 2022, followed by a November 2022 release date in the U.

“Bloodshed is not the answer,” intones somebody in the Gangs Of London Season 3 trailer. Clearly, that person hasn’t been watching the first two seasons of Gangs Of London – the no-holds-barred crime drama that, from the beginning, has been splattered head-to-toe in the blood of its enemies. And it looks like this long-awaited third run will follow suit – bringing more red-spraying exploits from Joe Cole’s Sean Wallace and Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù’s Elliot Carter, and heading to Sky / Now in March. Check out the trailer:

Where Season 1 was overseen by Gareth ‘The Raid’ Evans, and Season 2 was run by Corin Hardy, Season 3 is led by director Kim Hong Sun and lead writer Peter McKenna – and follows the aftermath of a batch of bad cocaine that wipes out hundreds of victims across the capital.

Here’s the official synopsis: “Anyone can fall as chaos erupts in London after a spiked shipment of cocaine kills hundreds,...

All productions that involve the horrors of the Holocaust and unimaginable crimes against humanity are difficult to watch. However, Peacock's streaming six-part miniseries, The Tattooist of Auschwitz, is particularly gruesome and unflinching, depicting how the ruthless Nazis treated the Jewish people under Hitler during World War II. The true story of Lale Sokolov is retold through a series of flashbacks by an elderly Lale, now a retired Slovak-Australian (Harvey Keitel) who recounts his grim experiences to Heather Morris (Melanie Lynskey), the author of the 2017 novel of the same name. Some of the details of the series based on a true story have been questioned by viewers and critics alike, while Morris herself claims it's a 95% accurate retelling by Solokov and herself.

“If we are sentimental, we will fail,” reveals twice Emmy-nominated “The Tattooist of Auschwitz” composer Kara Talve about her initial discussions with co-composer Hans Zimmer and the series’ creative team and their shared desire to steer clear of overly sentimentalizing the drama. “The imagery in this show speaks for itself. The story speaks for itself, right? I mean, we know that the horrors that happened at Auschwitz. It’s just unimaginable and because of that, the music itself has to also be unimaginable and unthinkable,” she explains during our recent webchat. “We really wanted to create this abstract environment that subtly supported the characters, let them lead the performance and never be epic because it just immediately feels wrong and disrespectful. And the last thing we wanted to do was overstep, especially in a series like this. It’s not just a story. It’s literally somebody’s truth, so...

Creating a 3D avatar to increase a model’s income brings up all sorts of issues, but this documentary seems uninterested in addressing them

Doubles, doppelgangers, clones; twin visions have long fascinated directors and audiences alike. It’s unnerving, however, when technologies that once belonged to the realm of science fiction are now realised in the present. A German model called Lale is interested in creating a 3D clone of herself and this documentary from Katharina Pethke taps into a new unsettling reality.

The rationale behind the project sounds promising on the surface. As the company that offers the body scanning service to Lale explains, a 3D clone can take on a larger number of campaigns, without the hassle of paying an in-person crew, thus increasing Lale’s income. What is striking, however, is that the firm’s examples of 3D avatars are all of non-white models.With the recent...

Stefan Baretzki, portrayed by Jonas Nay, is a complex character who plays a significant role in Lale's survival story.

The Netflix series As the Crow Flies is a story driven by the two most significant characters in it. One is the protagonist, Lale Kiran, the renowned TV personality and news host for the broadcasting channel MON5, and the other is the antagonist of the story, Asli Tuna, a greedy student journalist who entered the network as an intern and began scheming to eventually replace Lale. Amid the major conflict, some other characters in the story became integral parts and changed the whole course of the story. Yusuf Tunca, a field reporter and informant working for MON5, was one of them. Yusuf was not a very important character in season 1 of As the Crow Flies, while in season 2, he eventually became the one to win the battle of power and claim the throne.
