Top Boy took the streaming world by storm when it made its triumphant return in 2019 – six years after its first incarnation was cancelled by Channel 4. Indeed, at one point, the gritty drama was the number one most-watched show on Netflix in the UK.
Now, the show is into its fourth season, which has dropped on Netflix today (March 18, 2022). Vice report that one of the show's stars (and accomplished rapper) Ashley Walters has said of the streaming service, "Top Boy is a raw, real representation of street culture."
"It explores how these characters came to make the choices they make, and gives the audience a behind-the-scenes look as to what is happening on our streets today. It needs to be talked about and the show doesn't shy away from giving us the platform to tell our story."

"We can't change things if we do not acknowledge it and understand it first. Netflix is the perfect platform for this show, there aren't many networks who would be brave enough to keep it this real."
The release of the fourth series has got many fans looking to know more about who is in the show's cast.
Who is in the Top Boy season 4 cast on Netflix?
When watching Top Boy on Netflix, it is essential to remember that the first two series of the show are actually listed as Top Boy: Summerhouse, series one and two. The third series and the fourth series (when released) will be released just under the Top Boy title and will be listed as series one and two of that.
So if you're looking to watch the latest Top Boy series, you'd be looking for series two of Top Boy on Netflix.
For Top boy series two, The Radio Times list the official cast as including many recognisable faces from the Top Boy universe:
- Ashley Walters plays Dushane Hill
