Tom Hardy’s Taboo to return for second season

This is the first update on Taboo after its season finale aired back in early 2017. Based on a story written by Tom Hardy and his father Chips Hardy, Taboo was about a certain Englishman James Delaney (Hardy) returning home with 14 stolen diamonds.

The year is 1814, Delaney’s father has died and the war between the United Kingdom and the United States is about to end. The creators have planned a three season arc for the story.

The first season of the show received positive reviews. It holds a 77% rating at the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes.

The consensus reads. “After a sluggish start, Taboo takes hold as a mysterious, dark, and often brutal period drama with plenty of promise as a series — most notably evident in Tom Hardy’s exceptionally watchable performance.”
