Top Boy season 3 promises to end the acclaimed Netflix drama on a high note

2 min read

The third and final chapter of the gritty Netflix series will decide who can reign as Top Boy of Summerhouse.


Easily one of the best Netflix TV series ever, we’re ecstatic that Top Boy is back on our screens this month… even if it does mean it’s the last series of the hit drama.

Have no fear, though, we’re sure the final episodes of the fan-favourite series will keep us guessing – and on the edge of our seats – until the very end. 

“Every top boy has their time – that time is coming.”

Watch the Top Boy season 3 trailer for yourself:

Excited? Of course you are!

Here’s what you need to know about the third and final chapter of the series.

What is Top Boy season 3 about?

As anyone who tuned into the shocking season two finale will undoubtedly have guessed, the final instalment of Top Boy explores how Sully’s actions have rewritten his business rules with Dushane. 

“As new shared problems arise, everything they’ve built comes under threat from forces outside and within their empire,” reveals the official synopsis. 

“Can they coexist by the rules of the road they’ve lived by their whole lives in a world that is changing before them? Or can there only be one Top Boy?”

Who will star in Top Boy season 3?

The always-brilliant Ashley Walters and Kane ‘Kano’ Robinson will return to the Netflix drama, alongside Simbi Ajikawo, Jasmine Jobson, Saffron Hocking and Araloyin Oshunremi,.

Barry Keoghan and Brian Gleeson, meanwhile, bring some exciting new talent to the series.

What are people saying about Top Boy season 3?

Critics are already piling praise upon the final season of Top Boy, insisting that its darker, more violent tone (and compelling new characters) makes it a gloriously satisfying end to the show.

We imagine a great deal of that is down to the cast; after all, when the series was renewed in 2022, Walters and Robinson vowed in a joint statement that they would remain faithful to their characters until the very end.

“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,” they wrote.

“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,” the duo continued.

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

Expect no loose ends.

When can we watch Top Boy season 3?

The final six episodes will drop on 7 September 2023.

We just don’t know whether to binge them all at once or savour them for the very last time…
