Gangs of London cast look back at emotional season 1 ending and that final twist

Gangs of London season 2 is very nearly here, but it’s been a long wait for the second outing of the hit gangster series.

Season 2 will pick up the story one year on from the collapse of the Wallace and Dumani Empire and finally give us some answers about the twists at the end of season 1.

Gangs of London season 2 is available to stream weekly on Sky Atlantic with NOW from Thursday, October 20. Season 1 is available to watch now.

Despite the show being renowned for its thrilling and explosive action sequences, it was a quieter scene at the end of season 1 that was the most memorable moment in the finale.

Marian Wallace (Michelle Fairley) and Ed Dumani (Lucian Msamati)’s private meeting in a church graveyard concluded with the duo pointing guns at each other and Ed pulling the trigger. In the post-credits sequence it was revealed that Marian survived the gunshot, but the tense and emotional scene was a fan favourite from the first season.

We caught up with Michelle Fairley and Lucian Msamati to find out their reactions to the scene and whether they think there is any potential in a Gangs of London spin-off exploring the history of the Wallace and Dumani empire.
