Top Boy 2 (2025)
Ashley Walters, Kano, Jasmine Jobson
In East London’s estates, survival isn’t just about money — it’s about power, respect, and the brutal choices no one should ever have to make. Top Boy 2 returns to strip away the glamour from the crime drama, plunging deeper into the raw, unflinching realities of the drug trade and the lives it consumes.
Ashley Walters commands as Dushane, a calculating leader whose hunger for power is matched only by his fear of losing it. Every move he makes is a chess game, but even kings aren’t safe when betrayal lurks on every corner. Kano electrifies as Sully, volatile and unpredictable — a man torn between brotherhood and vengeance, haunted by the violence that defines him yet unable to escape it. Jasmine Jobson delivers a fierce, layered performance as Jaq, a fighter shaped by survival, hardened on the outside but wrestling with the vulnerability of loyalty and loss.
Every deal, every betrayal, every desperate decision is a reminder of how thin the line is between ambition and annihilation. Top Boy 2 doesn’t just tell a crime story — it tells the story of people: young men and women chasing hope in a system built to trap them, mothers struggling to shield their children from the streets, and dreamers daring to rise above a world that constantly pulls them back down.
Shot with gritty realism and searing intensity, Top Boy captures East London as both a battlefield and a home — a place where community, crime, and survival are forever entwined. It’s authentic, relentless, and devastatingly human, proving once again that the price of survival is never paid in cash alone.
