The long wait is finally coming to an end — Taboo is officially returning for Season 2, with Tom Hardy back as the enigmatic James Keziah Delaney. Co-created by Hardy, Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders), and Chips Hardy, the series will once again immerse audiences in the grim, atmospheric world of 19th-century London, where power, greed, and the supernatural intertwine.
Season 1 captivated viewers with its dark storytelling, eerie visuals, and Hardy’s commanding performance as Delaney, a man shrouded in mystery who challenged the mighty East India Company while reclaiming his father’s shipping empire. The new season, already confirmed to have six of its eight episodes written, promises to expand the scope of the story. Delaney’s journey will now shift westward, taking him across the Atlantic to America, where new alliances, hidden threats, and deeper secrets await.
Fans can expect the same signature grit and intensity: shadowy visuals, complex character dynamics, and the ever-present sense of danger. The return of supporting cast members like Jessie Buckley and Stephen Graham is rumored, adding even more strength to the already stellar ensemble. Meanwhile, the supernatural undertones teased in the first season are expected to deepen, hinting at more revelations about Delaney’s haunted past.
With Hardy’s magnetic screen presence at its core, Taboo Season 2 is shaping up to be a rich continuation of a story that blends historical drama, psychological intrigue, and gothic mystery. After years of anticipation, fans can finally prepare to re-enter Delaney’s shadowy world — where enemies lurk in every corner, and survival demands both ruthlessness and cunning.
👉 Taboo Season 2 (2025) is set to be one of the year’s most thrilling television events.
