The long silence is broken—Tom Hardy returns as the enigmatic James Keziah Delaney in the first electrifying trailer for Taboo – Season 2, created by Steven Knight, Tom Hardy, and Chips Hardy. Darker, bolder, and more dangerous than ever, the new season dives deeper into the shadows of power, betrayal, and the fight for survival in a world where trust is a weapon.
Picking up in 1816, Delaney has crossed the Atlantic with his band of loyal outcasts, intent on forging a trading empire in the lawless waters of the New World. But freedom comes at a price. The East India Company, the Crown, and a ruthless American consortium each move to crush him before his ambitions can take root. As whispers of war grow louder, Delaney is forced to navigate a deadly web of political intrigue, espionage, and blood-soaked vendettas.
Joining the returning cast is Anya Taylor-Joy as a cunning intelligence broker with allegiances to no one, and Cillian Murphy as a battle-hardened privateer whose fate becomes dangerously entangled with Delaney’s. Jonathan Pryce and Jessie Buckley reprise their roles, bringing back the simmering tension and moral ambiguity that made the first season unforgettable.
The trailer teases fog-shrouded docks, brutal hand-to-hand combat, and cryptic rituals steeped in mysticism, all captured through cinematographer Jakob Ihre’s signature chiaroscuro lens. Composer Max Richter returns with a score that pulses with menace, sorrow, and unrelenting tension.
Steven Knight calls Taboo – Season 2 “a descent into the heart of darkness—an unflinching look at the cost of power and the price of keeping your soul.”
With its blend of historical grit, complex characters, and visceral storytelling, Taboo – Season 2 (2025) looks set to reclaim its throne as one of television’s most compelling dramas.
Release Date: Autumn 2025
