Ashley Walters has confirmed that Channel 4’s Hackney gang drama Top Boy will not be coming back for a third series.

Walters told Shortlist magazine: “We had a third series in mind, which is why the second was left the way it was, but it hasn’t been commissioned again.”

He added: “I was quite disappointed to be honest, but it’s just the nature of the beast sometimes.”

Top Boy launched in October 2011 on Channel 4 and Series 2 concluded last September.
