The original series, which aired on Channel 4 from 2011 to 2013, was created and written by Ronan Bennett and is now available globally on Netflix. The good news is, the new instalment of the British drama has also been written by Bennett and executive produced by the original team — Charles Steel, Alasdair Flind, and Yann Demange.
Where it gets really interesting though is that the new series will also see Drake, his business partner Adel "Future" Nur, along with Maverick Carter and Jamal Henderson for SpringHill Entertainment (a company created by LeBron James and Maverick Carter) join the original production team. This is the second series involving Drake to air this year — his first being HBO's wildly successful Euphoria, which is available in the UK on Sky Atlantic and Now TV.
