Is Top Boy Season 5 out? Netflix’s Top Boy‘s fifth — and final — series has finally been given a release date. The streaming service has announced that the acclaimed drama series about life on fictional London estate Summerhouse will be available to stream from 7 September 2023. Netflix confirmed that the series, which is executively produced by two of its protagonists Ashley Walters and Kane ‘Kano’ Robinson, would receive a fifth season on March 31, 2022 shortly after its fourth instalment debuted. The season will be the third produced by Netflix and is branded as ‘season three’ on the streaming service. Filming began for its final season last summer and avoided being hit by the Covid restrictions that had affected the filming of the previous series. While at the end of the last series, viewers were left on a serious cliffhanger, Walters and Robinson confirmed that the upcoming final season will ‘end the journey in the right way.’ In a joint statement, the actors said: ‘For those that have followed the journey from the start, you will know how much this show means to everyone on our team and we wholeheartedly know how much it means to you. These characters have been a part of our lives for over a decade now and without everyone’s support we couldn’t have come this far.’ They continued: ‘Whilst the journeys of Dushane and Sully have remained at the core of the show, the new characters that have entered the world of Top Boy have become a key part of the show’s legacy, representing each new storyline in a raw, authentic way. Season 5 was released as the whole season on September 7 on Netflix. There have been a few trailers for the show, with the most recent one sharing snippets and exclusives from the final season. Netflix has confirmed that there will be six episodes of the final season of Top Boy. The episodes drop on September 7, 2023. The streaming platform has revealed small snippets of the plot: “The rules that Sully and Dushane have lived by their whole lives are tested in an ever-changing world in a final chapter that will decide who can reign as Top Boy of Summerhouse.” The news of the scheduled release window will come as a welcome relief to fans who may have worried that there could have been more to these ‘creative differences’. However, there’s a current situation that may – or may not – create more delays, and anxiety. If the current Screen Actors Guild strike stretches into September, Netflix may want to delay the show even further, because they’ll be missing a key element of the promotion process. SAG strike rules cover all sorts of areas related to marketing their work. “Film and television productions will shut down, but the work stoppage has reverberations that extend beyond actors going to set,” Variety recently explained. “According to the guidelines, SAG-AFTRA members will not be able to attend premieres, do interviews for completed work, go to awards shows, attend film festivals or even promote projects on social media while the strike is in effect. They are also not allowed to attend conventions such as Comic-Con to promote any past or present work made under a SAG-AFTRA contract.” But let’s hope everything’s resolved by the autumn. At the moment, September is the closest we’re getting to knowing when Top Boy season five will hit the streaming platform, but as soon as there’s an exact date we’ll let you know.
