Top Boy returning for season four after Netflix hit left fans with huge cliffhanger

Top Boy has finally been confirmed for a fourth season after leaving us all gagging with that huge cliffhanger.

The hit Netflix drama is officially returning to let fans know exactly what happened next with Dushane, Sully, Jamie and Shelley.

The exciting news was confirmed by Netflix on Wednesday.

A tweet from the official account said: "Confirmed: Top Boy s2 is happening!! What we can tell you: – production starts this spring– Dushane, Sully, Jamie and Shelley will return (!)."

While this is the second series created by Netflix, it's actually the fourth season of the British crime drama set on the fictional Summerhouse estate in Hackney, East London.

The show originally aired on Channel 4 from 2011 to 2013.

But the broadcaster announced in 2014 that it wouldn't be continuing with the programme.

The show was revived in 2017 when rapper Drake spoke of his love for it after catching up on the first two seasons.

After hearing of Drake's admiration, Netflix commissioned a new 10-episode series, which saw Ashley Walters and Kane Robinson - better known as rapper Kano - reprise their respective roles of Dushane and Sully.

Last year, showrunner and creator Ronan Bennett spoke about the success of the Netflix revival.

He told Metro : "Sometimes you write something for screen and it just doesn't come out as well as you'd hoped even though all the individual parts are good, but somehow when they're all together they just don't gel.

"This is different. I think the new season is brilliant, I really do. We don't want to sit on our laurels."

Season three caught up with former Summerhouse kingpin Dushane after he fled Jamaica, where he had been working in his cousin's car rental shop.

He returned to Summerhouse after making a business deal with imprisoned drug lord Sugar, agreeing to sell the criminal's product and become Top Boy once again.

But on his return, he discovered that a new crew from London Fields had moved in and weren't willing to stand for Dushane stepping on their turf.

Meanwhile, Sully was in prison and caught in a power struggle with murderous drug dealer Modie, who had been running the London Fields gang in Dushane and Sully's absence.

Sully was released and reconnected with Jason and Gem to begin selling drugs once more.

The season ended with an explosive cliffhanger that saw drug users Sarah and Lee revealed as undercover police officers working to investigate Dushane.
