Tom Hardy drama ‘Taboo’ receives positive season two update
Taboo producer Dean Baker has confirmed that work has officially begun on a second season of the Tom Hardy-led drama.The 2017 BBC series, which was co-created by Hardy, his father Chips Hardy and Peaky Blinders writer Steven Knight, was originally renewed four years ago – though updates have been few and far between since.Speaking to The Radio Times, Baker has now confirmed that his team have officially started work on the second season, and are hopeful it will arrive on screens soon.The producer also noted that he, Kate Crowe, Ridley Scott and Hardy are keen to work on further adaptations of Charles Dickens’ work, having recently developed a Great Expectations TV series, set to air on BBC One on March 26.“Currently we are working on a second season of Taboo, and hopefully we will get to explore more Dickens [like Great Expectations] with Steve, Ridley and Tom,” Baker explained.Set in 1814, Taboo centres on Hardy’s character James Keziah Delaney as he returns to London from a 12-year stint in Africa.
