After buying the rights in November 2017, Drake and Netflix’s Top Boy revival is in full-swing. The rapper debuted the trailer for the British crime drama during his show at the O2 Arena on April 1.

The upcoming 10-episode season picks up where the show left off in 2013, following the story of drug dealers Dushane and Sully who attempt to rule the London drug trade again after spending time in jail. Ashley Walters and Kane Robinson have been confirmed to reprise their roles.

Top Boy ran for two seasons on Channel 4 before getting canned in 2013. First-timers or fans who need a refresher can watch the entire series on Netflix now.

Watch the fan-captured trailer below and stay tuned for a release date.
