Warning: Trailer contains strong language
The final ever Top Boy trailer has just dropped.
Check it out:
Top Boy is set on the fictional East London estate of Summerhouse and has become a huge fan favourite since it first aired on Channel 4 over a decade ago.

However, it was later cancelled, with fans including Drake throwing their support behind it, and Netflix stepping in to take it on.
The third series, which is set to land on the streaming site this week, picks up where we left off.
A synopsis for the final season reads: "Sully’s actions at the end of the last series have rewritten his business rules with Dushane.
"As new shared problems arise, everything they've built comes under threat from forces outside and within their empire.
Advert
"Can they coexist by the rules of the road they’ve lived by their whole lives in a world that is changing before them? Or can there only be one TOP BOY?"
As well as the original cast members, like Ashley Walters and Kane Robinson, the new season also sees The Banshees of Inisherin’s breakout star Barry Keoghan and fellow Dubliner Brian Gleeson join the gang.
In a clip, shared exclusively with LADbible, we got our first proper look at Keoghan’s character, following the brief glimpses we had in the first teaser trailer.

We see as Sully (Robinson) meet his new potential rival Johnny for the first time in a stable block.
"Not get the memo, lads, nah?" Johnny asks.
"Uncle Tadgh... I mean, he said things didn't have to escalate. It still doesn't - it's up to yous."
He goes on: "We took care of the Moroccans, that ended things. You know, you've got the machine that needs the products, and we have the products.

"Let's work it out."
Johnny, who seems to pose a new threat to Sully and Dushane's empire, then offers the group a deal before saying: "Or, you know what? Maybe I send you ahead to Tadgh's mother's house. Got your attention now, don't they?"
He adds: "Have a little think about it. I'll clean this mess up, it's on me - this time."

The series also stars Walters (Bulletproof, Small Island), Simbiatu Ajikawo ‘Little Simz’, Jasmine Jobson (Lie Low, Obey), Araloyin Oshunremi (Heartstopper), rap and grime artist Natalie Athanasiou ‘NoLay’, Saffron Hocking (London Kills, White Gold), Joshua Blissett (Blue Story, Young Wallander) and Adwoa Aboah (Willow).
The final series of Top Boy arrives on Netflix on 7 September.
