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

The eight-episode first series was broadcast earlier this year on BBC One in the UK and FX in the Us.

Set in 1814, Hardy stars in the series as a man who, believed long 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. Season one was produced by Hardy, Son & Baker and Scott Free. Ridley Scott was an executive producer under his banner Scott Free Films and will reprise his role for the second series.
