Gangs of London is a British action thriller crime television series created by Gareth Evans and Matt Flannery.[1] Based on London Studio's 2006 video game for the PlayStation Portable,[2][3] it serves as the fourth installment in Sony Interactive Entertainment's The Getaway franchise created by Brendan McNamara and Katie Ellwood.[4] Gangs of London follows the struggles between rival gangs and other criminal organisations in present-day London.

The first series premiered on 23 April 2020 on Sky Atlantic. In June 2020, a second series was announced, with AMC to take over US broadcast rights and co-produce, and Corin Hardy to take over as showrunner.[5][6] The second series premiered on 20 October 2022 in the UK and Germany and premiered on 17 November 2022 in the US.[7] In November 2022, the series was renewed for a third season.[8] In December 2022, a graphic novel titled A Gangs of London Story: Ghosts, set inbetween the first and second series, was released.[9]

The series has received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its performances, narrative and action sequences, though some criticism was aimed at its excessive violence.
