A Thousand Blows Season 2 is out now, and fans are already wondering whether Season 3 is on its way. However, the series has not been renewed for a third season as of now.

Created by Steven Knight, the series features Erin Doherty, Malachi Kirby, Stephen Graham, Morgan Hilaire, Jemma Carlton, Caoilfhionn Dunne, and James Nelson-Joyce in the main cast. The series released its season one last year in February, with season 2 premiering on January 9 this year. Each season consisted of six episodes, making it a total of twelve episodes.

The synopsis of the historical and sports drama reads:

"Two Jamaican friends arrive in London and become caught up in the East End's criminal underworld."

The series has released its two seasons in two consecutive years. If a third season is given a green light, it will most possibly come out next year at the latest. However, it's important to note that the production house hasn't confirmed any news as of now.


A Thousand Blows Season 3: Will the series return?

A Thousand Blows Season 2 ends with Mary and Hezekiah going to New York together. On the other hand, Sugar survives the blast, which kills Murtagh. Viewers also saw Treacle and Sugar spending time in the club while watching Thomas run the place. However, it's important to remember that the Elephant Boys are not fully gone.

Speaking of Season 2, Steven Knight, in a reported statement by Express & Star, said:

"I wanted to detonate a bit of an explosion and pull everybody apart. A year has passed, and what a year it’s been, because so much has changed. When you’ve got actors of the calibre we have, like Stephen, the difference between how we first see him in season one and how he appears at the start of season two is huge. That’s the fun of it: putting characters through that, pulling them apart, and then seeing them come back together."

The first two seasons were filmed back-to-back and were released with a gap of a year. Knight reportedly added:

"It’s an act of faith on Disney’s part. Most often, a second series isn’t commissioned until the first has aired and the response is known. But they trusted it was going to work and their trust paid off."

If A Thousand Blows Season 3 is released, viewers will most likely see Mary and Hezekiah's life in New York and what problems they might face after going there. At the same time, Sugar might also have to deal with Elephant Boys. Alice is running things for now. However, there's a possible chance that Mary will return from New York to take care of things going forward.

The series has gained over seven stars on IMDb, thanks to its storyline and cast members. The creator of the series, Steven Knight, also has many projects lined up, which include Peaky Blinders, Small Dark Room, Roads to Freedom, Ferrari, and Bond 26, with A Thousand Blows not in the schedule as of now.

The series' main cast, Erin Doherty, is also working on her new project, California Avenue, and Malachi Kirby is currently working on Anansi Boys and Squadron 42.

While A Thousand Blows Season 3 hasn't been confirmed yet, the streaming platform has also not announced its cancellation, leaving viewers hopeful.
