The FX and BBC renewal gods have yet to confirm Taboo Season 2, but co-creator Steven Knight has teased how the League of the Damned storyline will play out over the period drama’s necessary second and third seasons, per EW:
This is the story of how one ship that sailed to America was crewed and how the people came to be onboard. I love the idea that any ship that was sailing into Boston harbor at the time was full of people with stories as wild and as mad as this. What was happening was that people, individuals, who could no longer fit with their group, who felt themselves to have been thrown out of it — not because they were great heroic rebels, but because they just didn’t fit — they were the ones that were, for whatever reason, getting on ships and going west.
That’s what this is the story of, and I’m hoping that season 2 and 3 will continue the story of America, if you like.
Taboo renewed? Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the survival status of the FX/BBC drama…
Rhett P Taylor says
Phenomenal show. As good as Broadchurch but even darker. Please continue it. Tom Hardy is perfectly cast. We Americans love a gritty drama, especially period pieces with gravitas.
Rebecca Marinakis says
Tom Hardy is excellent, and is very skilled at his craft. I am hoping FX renews Taboo for a second season and not wait too long to premier.
