Season 2 AI Speculation:

The long, agonizing wait for James Keziah Delaney's return is finally nearing its end! After years of anticipation, Taboo's co-creator, the brilliant Steven Knight, has delivered the most exciting update yet. He has confirmed that the scripts for all eight episodes of the second season are officially written and ready to go! The team is now working to align the stars, primarily the packed schedule of leading man Tom Hardy, with the goal of starting production before the end of 2024.

So what does this mean for an air date on BBC One? While nothing is officially stamped, a late 2024 filming schedule makes a late 2025 release the most realistic and hopeful window. This timeline would allow for the intricate filming and detailed post-production the series is famous for. The dark and gritty world of Taboo is finally on the horizon!
