Lead actors and executive producers of the show, Ashley Walters and Kane Robinson released a joint statement explaining they are "very excited about what’s next”.

"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," the statement reads. "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.
