This TV show has been described as a mini-series but an executive producer of the Taboo TV show has plans for a second season. Will Taboo be a hit in the ratings for FX and BBC One? Will it be renewed for season two or will it be cancelled? Stay tuned.
Taboo is set in 1814 and revolves around an adventurer who returns to England. James Keziah Delaney (Tom Hardy) returns to London after spending 10 years in Africa. He finds that his father has died. Now, he’s set to inherit what is left of his father’s shipping empire — much to the consternation of his half‐sister Zilpha (Oona Chaplin), her husband Thorne Geary (Jefferson Hall), and the chair of the mighty East India Company, Sir Stuart Strange (Jonathan Pryce). Michael Kelly is also part of the main FX cast. The recurring cast includes Jessie Buckley, Jefferson Hall, Scroobius Pip, Edward Hogg, Leo Bill, Christopher Fairbank, Roger Ashton-Griffiths, Richard Dixon, Jason Watkins, Nicholas Woodeson, Franka Potente, and Danny Ligairi.

My type of show, love the time period and would love to see the show move forward with season 2 and beyond.

The best TV mini series I have ever seen in many years. Excellent actors, actresses. I used to watch Charlie Chaplin growing up, and it is nice to see his granddaughter play it in. We definitely need a second and third season for sure. All the very best in you endeavors,

Love this show!! Please renew for next season!!
I hope they will not cancel this show, it’s one of the most awesome suspense there is on TV and whoever the director for this show is so good and 2 thumbs up because they don’t hold back to show exciting scenes every episode and will not keep you hanging for answers. It’s quite intriguing and the plot is totally awesome. Tom Hardy does a great job as main character. A lot of my friends at work watch this show and we often talk about it and discuss opinions about the episodes. I love this show, please don’t cancel.
