Police brutality and racism are not new subject matter for Top Boy.

Since the last season of Top Boy aired on Netflix in 2019, the conversation about race in Britain has changed.and the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement.

The programme focuses on the realities of UK gang culture, drug dealing and the divide between rich and poor. "It's what we're about. We're not doing things for glorification value or whatever. It's what people go through."The cast of this year's show is as strong as previous series. Kano, Michael Ward, and Little Simz are all returning, as are Jasmine Jobson and Saffron Hocking who play sisters Jaq and Lauryn.

"The Black Lives Matter protests opened everyone's eyes," she says. "But I think that what Top Boy already did before BLM was show black people on TV, and it was exposing to show black people on TV, and we continue to do that.""I know grandparents that enjoy watching Top Boy, it's for everyone," says Saffron
