Of course for many fans this sparked hope that a new series of Top Boy could be in the pipeline, after filming for series four – the second to air on Netflix – was delayed due to COVID-19.
Netflix revived the hit show late last year after Channel 4 decided to cancel the first two series, which originally aired in 2011 and 2013.
Just weeks after its release in September 2019, Toy Boy became one of Netflix’s most-watched shows.
Taking to their social media account at the time, the platform announced the news: ‘Top Boy is living up to its name – after years away from our screens it’s back, and it’s been the most-watched title on @NetflixUK this week.’

Executive producer and chart-topping rapper Drake revealed he was inspired to work on the series after stumbling across the show in 2017.
The artist told the Hollywood Reporter at the time: ‘That human element drew me in.
‘I started just looking them up. Like, who are these people? Are these actors I should know? Are they just famous over there? I remember I hit Future, and I was just like, “This show is incredible.”‘
