Xavier Gens, the director of episodes 6, 7 and 8 which lead right up to the finale is hedging his bets too.
“We don’t know. We don’t know. It’s too early!” he tells us, though he says he’d be back in a flash if a season 2 was on the table. “If they asked me to come back yes, for sure, because I love the cast. I love the production company!”
Ultimately, Evans points, out it’s really too early to say what might happen, and with the production times involved, not to mention the fact that everything is halted due to the pandemic, it’ll be a while before we find out.
“I don’t know, to be honest,” he says of plans for Gangs of London going forward. “I don’t necessarily know what the plan is in terms of what they’re going to do with season two. It’s been one week since it got released, and it’s this weird thing for me where we spent two years, three years just to get season one made. It’s so exciting and heartwarming to hear that people have just binged through, but they’re like, ‘So what’s next? What’s season two?’ I’m like, ‘Uh, we’re just enjoying the moment right now’ because it’s too far ahead in a weird way.”
