Tom Hardy, already a star on the big screen, made a name for himself in the TV game with two heavy hitters: Peaky Blinders and Taboo . The former became a giant hit, leading to multiple seasons, but the latter has been curiously absent since it debuted in January of 2017. Though a second season was announced straight away in March 2017, there are not many details about when the BBC One/FX series might return, and what it will look like going forward .
While we still don't have a ton of information at the ready, executive producer Steven Knight has opened up about some potential plot details, and we know that there will indeed be an eight-episode second season. But what else do we know about the Victorian-set drama, which was co-created by Tom Hardy and his father, Chips? Let's break down all of the news we have about Taboo Season 2, and when we can expect to see more.
The return of Taboo will likely depend on one factor: Tom Hardy's availability. The actor was recently shooting the comic-book blockbuster sequel Venom: Let There Be Carnage , and while the film finished production before the shutdown, it's still in the post-production process, which SlashFilm reports will involve some reshoots . It's unclear when Hardy's schedule will be open or when production will return to normal. The movie's release date was also pushed from October 2, 2020 to June 25, 2021.
Whenever Hardy and Knight are ready, FX sounds excited to get the ball rolling. Back in January 2020, the network's Entertainment President Eric Schrier told Deadline that they were interested in additional Charles Dickens adaptations from Knight -- the network aired his version of A Christmas Carol , which included an appearance from Hardy, in 2019 -- and that they'd love to have additional Taboo episodes. "Steven is definitely game and we have what I think is a great idea for a second season, some of which has already been written but we just need the actor," said FX chairman John Landgraf. "We’re in active conversations.”
That sense of optimism extends across the pond as well. "We're thrilled people want to know what happens next and that the BBC and FX are up for more adventures with the devil Delaney and the league of the damned," said executive producer Ridley Scott when the series was renewed. (The show is a joint British/American venture, with BBC One airing it in the UK and FX airing it in the States.)
The first season aired on Saturday nights on BBC One, and did moderately well in that time frame, so the second season will probably stick to weekends. Although execs likely aren't too concerned about the day of the week slot, since the first season found most of its success in streaming; it's the third-most-viewed series to ever air on the BBC's iPlayer app.
"We are grateful and excited to continue our relationship with the BBC and FX in contributing towards British drama," the Venom star said in a statement . "Fantastic news."
This isn’t much of a surprise, considering Hardy helped conceive the series and created his character, James Delaney, to fulfill the many acting challenges he wanted to tackle.
"To be bluntly honest, I wanted to play Bill Sykes, Sherlock Holmes, Hannibal Lecter, Heathcliff, Marlow… just every classical character in one," he told the Radio Times last year. Ambitious, and when you put them all together, you apparently get a bunch of grunts .
That tantalizing ending sets the state for an exciting Season 2, which Knight promises will be "explosive." We know that we'll follow Delaney and his crew into the "New World" eventually, but we also know their next destination is Ponta Delgada, which is in the Azores, a remote group of Portuguese islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. What that setting means for the show is still anyone's guess, as Knight has been tight-lipped about the future. "There's a great destination for [the second season], but I don't know if we're in a position to talk about the actual details of it," he told Entertainment Weekly back in 2017.
Knight previously described Taboo as being the story of "misfits and America," so we know Delaney will end up in the States eventually; his father did, after all, own land in North America . But it could be a while before the show reaches that destination. Knight has stated his plans to end the show after Season 3, and described the first season as "the escape," the second season as "the journey," and the third as "the arrival" -- which means our characters might not see the shores of America until its final bow.
No matter when it hits, we can't wait to see Hardy's brutish grunts back on our screen again.
