Drake’s executive produced show Top Boy will return for its second Netflix season and fourth season overall. Cast members Ashley Walters, Kane Robinson, Michael Ward and British rapper Little Simz are also set to return, as well as the show’s original creator Ronan Bennett, who will co-produce the season.
Drake took to Instagram on Wednesday (February 26) to announce the news.
Drake's OVO Sound Announces "Top Boy" Netflix Series Soundtrack
“WE BAAAAAAAACK,” he captioned a photo of Top Boy scripts.
That same day, Netflix’s official Top Boy Twitter handle confirmed the announcement.
“We’re back,” they wrote. “TOP BOY Season 2 begins filming this spring. @AshleyWalters82, @TheRealKano, @onlymikes_ and @LittleSimz will return as Dushane, Sully, Jamie and Shelley. Stay tuned.”
Initially debuted in 2011, the British gang drama was dropped from its network after its second season. However, Drake’s interest in the show led to its revival, with its third season airing on Netflix last September. The OVO boss serves as executive producer on the show, alongside his business partner Adel “Future” Nur and SpringHill Entertainment’s Maverick Carter and Jamal Henderson.
Back in 2017, it was reported that Drake and UK rapper Skepta would be featured actors in the show. While he hasn’t appeared on camera, Drake and his OVO team did supply a soundtrack for the series’ Netflix debut.
Filming for Top Boy season four will begin this spring.

Drake out here killin the game. He produces some of the best shows, makes the best quality music with real authentic lyrics that aren’t exaggerated or written by somebody else, has a real accent, 100% real singing with no autotune, and won 11 Grammy awards for playing that weirdo in a wheelchair on Degrassi. Drake got the whole entertainment industry by the throat.
You don’t Even sound genuine. how much did he pay you to type that garbage?
It’s not his show, he just attached his name to it as 1 of 6 executive producers. I’m sure that he has no creative input for the series.
So… the series had two seasons in BBC UK. Now it’s “Drake’s series…” talk about ghost writing… this fool probably has a stunt cock. Someone else fucks for him.
1st 2 series were good. 3rd was just over the top. I mean the way the guy got killed in Jamaica is so much bs.
Ok, season 3 might have had a FEW over-the-top moments, but it was still great. If you were watching Top Boy back in 2011-12 surely you should appreciate that this was better than being left hanging. If you were really on it then, you’d know that it wasn’t even on BBC. I can’t wait for season4!
Ay bruv! What’s wit da mandem and da wait!
