'Gangs of London's Season 3 Trailer Is Full of Betrayal

Most Americans are unaware of the Sky series Gangs of London, despite the show initially debuting five years ago in April 2020 and now gearing up to debut its third season in March 2025. While not nearly as egregious as, say, Rogue Heroes being lost on MGM+, from its first arrival on the then-newly-minted AMC+, Gangs of London has been running proof the AMC Network "flagship" streaming service is not making headway in the fight to survive. Despite starring A-list talents like Joe Cole (The Ipcress File), Michelle Fairley (The White Queen), and Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù (Slow Horses), the series continues to fly under the radar, with the latest trailer barely noticed by the American entertainment world.

The series is based on the Sony Interactive Entertainment 2006 video game of the same name from London Studio that's part of The Getaway franchise, which (to be fair) doesn't sound promising. The last decade or two has been littered with various attempts at turning video game franchises into shows for the big and small screen, and while every so often, you get something like Prime Video's Fallout or HBO's The Last of Us, by in large, most video games don't transfer well to non-interactive mediums.

However, Sky's series is one of the few that belongs in the conversation with other successful games that transcended their original medium. The series, which is a significant hit in the U.K., might be a bit heavy-handed in its video game-style violence, but otherwise, it's a superbly acted series that deserves to be more widely seen. AMC has done its best — Season 1 aired on linear on BBC America and AMC's cable channel — but to no avail.  At this point, it will take a miracle (or AMC+ putting it on a streaming service people actually watch) to get the show the attention it deserves.
