Movies

London, 1814 – The shadows return
After nearly a decade of anticipation, Taboo is officially moving forward with Season 2, marking the return of Tom Hardy as the enigmatic and haunted James Keziah Delaney. Set once again in the murky streets of 1814 London, the series dives back into a world where power, corruption, and the supernatural intertwine in a gripping, atmospheric tapestry.

Picking up where the storm left off
Season 2 continues in the immediate aftermath of the explosive first season. Delaney remains determined to rebuild his late father’s shipping empire, all while declaring war on the all-powerful East India Company. But his path is riddled with betrayal, violence, and the ghosts of secrets that refuse to stay buried.

Raising the stakes
Co-created by Tom Hardy, Steven Knight, and Chips Hardy, Taboo has been praised for its dense atmosphere, raw intensity, and Hardy’s commanding performance. With six of its eight planned episodes already completed on paper, Season 2 promises to push the narrative further—featuring brutal confrontations, deeper conspiracies, and an ambitious journey westward to America’s shores.

A return worth the wait
Audiences can expect cinematic grit, haunting beauty, and a powerhouse cast that may include Jessie Buckley and Stephen Graham. More than just a continuation, this new chapter aims to escalate the story into bolder, darker territory—where power, blood, and legacy once again collide.
