AMC+ has released an official first look at the second season of their critically acclaimed crime drama Gangs of London. Including a behind-the-scenes teaser and new images, the network promises that the drama's next season will be as bloody and action-packed as the first one, as the battle for the city’s domination rages on between gangs.

The last fans saw of protagonist Sean (Joe Cole) at the end of season one, he had been seemingly fatally shot and was lying in a puddle of his own blood. A police officer confirmed he was dead, but fans are not convinced and they eagerly await confirmation about Sean's fate, as well as how the other gangsters will react to the news. As for another main character, Marian (Michelle Fairley), the new images confirm that she will be returning since she faked her own death. From what we know, season two will take place a year after the events of the first season, so much may have changed in the city and for the characters in the meantime.
