In new scenes, we can see Dushane Hill attempting to recruit Jamie Tovell into his gang. Dushane (Ashley Walters) will be on a roll in the next season, having won the fight against the youthful pretender Jamie (Michael Ward), keeping his Summerhouse team unrivalled and earning more money than ever.

However, things quickly deteriorate as a crisis arises from an unexpected source, threatening to bring everything tumbling down.

The show's fourth season will be it's second on Netflix. The first two seasons were broadcast on Channel 4.

Despite its popularity, Channel 4 cancelled the programme in 2013, leaving fans devastated - until Netflix resurrected it six years later with the aid of fan and executive producer Drake. In September 2019 the third season was released on the streaming service.

It is under a different name at Netflix, as the original two seasons on Channel 4 were called *T**op Boy: Summerhouse*
