Prepare yourself: Top Boy fans have been waiting a long time for the release of the third and final part of the Netflix series, but on Monday it was confirmed that The Final Chapter will be released on September 7
Tense: They also released a gripping one minute 45 second trailer that teased the ongoing dramatic storylines set at the Summerhouse estate in East London (Kano as Sully is pictured)
This season will conclude the fate of the main characters after the dramatic events of the last scene of series two.
In addition to the drama of Dushane and Sully, Lauryn (Saffron Hocking) will have to deal with the murder of her abusive partner and father of her unborn baby Curtis (Howard Charles), while his villainous sister Vee (Ava Brennan) seeks revenge.
Elsewhere, Dushane not only has a drug empire to worry about, but also his ongoing health problems.
Simbi Ajikawo (aka Little Simz), Jasmine Jobson, Saffron Hocking and Araloyin Oshunremi also return to their roles for the final series.
As the trailer begins, Sully walks down the street as his voiceover asks, “So, how do you think we survived all this time?”
He is then seen in a scene looking at Dushane telling him, “Just know we’re f**king connected,” looking back at him unconvinced.
Enemy Si is then seen talking to a fellow gang member about Sully as he threatens, “One day that brother will get what’s in store for him!”
The following scenes then tease clashes between the estate and the police, as official cars are set on fire during riots as the crowd yells ‘let him out!’

Netflix’s synopsis for series three reads: ‘Sully’s actions at the end of the last series have rewritten his rules of business with Dushane.
“As new shared problems arise, everything they have built is threatened by forces outside and within their realm.
“Can they coexist according to the rules of the road they have followed all their lives in a world that is changing for them? Or can there be only one Top Boy?’
Speaking of last year’s final season, Kano and Ashley, who play the two main characters, explained, “While Dushane and Sully’s journeys have remained at the core of the show, the new characters that have entered the world of Top Boy are , has become an important part of the show’s legacy, depicting each new storyline in a raw, authentic way.
With all this said, and staying true to our original goal, every story must have an ending and so season three will be our finale.
“An opportunity to come full circle and end the journey on the right foot.”
Following the release of Top Boy season 2 on Netflix on March 18, 2022, the show quickly went to number 1 in the UK.
The season finale stunned fans. Now the stakes are high and it’s time for the final reckoning.
The Banshees Of Inisherin star Barry Keoghan and Bad Sisters actor Brian Gleeson join the show as new characters Jonny and Tadhg.
In season four, Ashley, Kano, Micheal and Little Simz returned in their roles as Dushane, Sully, Jamie and Shelley.
Dressed in shabby clothes and begging for a hit a number of times, season three introduced two junkies named Lee and Sarah, who gained the trust of their dealers.
However, the season finale showed the duo being revealed as undercover cops, before Top Boy’s official Twitter shared a video with the clues leading up to the shocking moment – leaving fans in absolute bewilderment.
Lee and Sarah seemed to develop a good relationship throughout the season with a number of dealers, including Dushane and Sully.
However, they’ve had a few mishaps along the way, proving there was more to their characters.
It’s not until the final scene, when they’re in the police station, that viewers realize they’re undercover cops hoping to lock Dushane and Sully up.
Top Boy originally aired in 2011 on Channel 4 before the station dropped it after two seasons.
Following interest from rapper Drake, the show was revived by Netflix in 2018, with the rapper and his team serving as executive producers.

It is a look at the paradoxical aspirations and realities of those who are marginalized by society, yet form a tight-knit community as they try to improve their lives on the estate.
For Dushane and Sully, that’s about the relentless pursuit of building a drug empire to become Top Boy. But that puts a target on your back.
Enemies can come from anywhere, loyalties are tested as trusted lieutenants can become serpents, and the unwritten rules of the road are always challenged.
But these are the challenges you face as a Top Boy and the question is how long can you stay there?
