Exploring the Ultraviolent World of 'Gangs of London': A Departure from Netflix for Action Enthusiasts
An acclaimed action movie director's ultraviolent British crime TV series is set to depart from Netflix soon, catering to action enthusiasts. While some action thriller TV shows feature violence, they often present it in a more realistic or less brutal manner compared to big-screen productions. However, a TV series co-created by Gareth Evans, known for his violent action films like The Raid duology, offers a different experience.
Gareth Evans, renowned for his intense action movies, recently directed Havoc on Netflix, marking his return to the action genre after a decade. Additionally, he has been involved in creating an ultraviolent British crime show, Gangs of London, which is scheduled to leave Netflix in the US on August 18. The show, which premiered in 2020 and aired its third season in the UK in March 2025, delves into the chaotic world of criminal organizations in London.
Gangs of London portrays the aftermath of the assassination of the head of a powerful crime family in the city, leading to a power struggle among various criminal factions. Despite the show's departure from Netflix, both seasons are accessible on AMC+ and can be purchased individually from Apple TV or Fandango at Home. However, the third season is currently unavailable in the US, including on Netflix, requiring viewers to wait for its release.
Known for its intense violence and high-octane action sequences, Gangs of London offers a unique viewing experience that sets it apart from other crime shows. With 18 episodes available on Netflix, viewers can binge-watch the series before it transitions to AMC+ for US audiences. The show's departure from Netflix presents an opportunity for action fans to immerse themselves in its gripping narrative and adrenaline-pumping action before it's no longer available on the streaming platform.
