The primary bottleneck for Season 2 is the schedule of creator and writer Steven Knight. Knight is one of the busiest showrunners in the industry. Following the success of Taboo , he launched Peaky Blinders , which became a global phenomenon and consumed his production schedule for years.
The scripts are largely written, the creator is eager, and the star is committed. However, until Tom Hardy and Steven Knight clear their respective calendars for a 4-to-6-month shoot, James Keziah Delaney will remain on the docks, waiting for the tide to turn. Fans should keep an eye on trade publications for a "production start" announcement, which will be the first true signal that a premiere date is on the horizon.
Fans of the BBC One historical drama series Taboo are eagerly awaiting the release of the second season. The show, which premiered in 2017, follows the story of James Delaney, a British sailor who returns to London in 1814 and becomes embroiled in a world of crime and politics.
