Stephen Merchant’s The Outlaws will return for a third season on Prime Video and BBC One. Filming on the new season of the critically acclaimed comedy is currently underway in and around Bristol.
“After the overwhelming response to the first two series, I’m delighted to be bringing back our lovable band of miscreants for more misadventures. Audiences have really taken the characters to their hearts, so I can’t wait for them to see what hot water we’ve thrown them into this time. And I’m thrilled we’ll once again be filming in my hometown of Bristol. I expect I’ll be welcomed with a ticker-tape parade. It didn’t happen on the previous series, but I put that down to Covid,” said Stephen Merchant.
Merchant co-created the series with Elgin James (Mayans M.C.) and writes, directs, and executive produces. Luke Alkin, Kenton Allen, and Matthew Justice serve as executive producers for Big Talk, along with John Butler.
In addition to Merchant as Greg, returning cast members include Rhianne Barreto as Rani, Gamba Cole as Ben, Darren Boyd as John, Clare Perkins as Myrna, Eleanor Tomlinson as Lady Gabby, Jessica Gunning as Diane, Charles Babalola as Malaki, and Tom Hanson as Spencer. Christopher Walken starred in seasons one and two but isn’t listed among the returning cast.
Season one premiered on Prime Video on March 18, 2022, and season two dropped on August 5, 2022. Both seasons are currently available for binge-watching.
Prime Video and BBC One released the following details on season three:
“With crime boss The Dean (Claes Bang) behind bars awaiting trial, The Outlaws are moving on with their lives – until one of their own returns with a deadly secret, hurling them back into mortal danger. As a murder manhunt closes in on the gang, can they prove their innocence before The Dean’s case collapses, and he comes looking for revenge?”
