Taboo, the eight episode drama series starring and executive produced by Tom Hardy, has been renewed for a second season by the BBC and FX.

The show is set in 1814, where James Keziah Delaney (Hardy), a man long believed dead, returns home from Africa to London to inherit the remnants of his father’s shipping empire. The cast also included Oona Chaplin, Jonathan Pryce and David Hayman.

Taboo was created by Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders) with Tom Hardy and Chips Hardy.
