Taboo Season 2: Release date

Since the release date of Taboo Season two is pushed back the second time in a row, fans worldwide are dismayed. Presently, no official announcement has been made relating to the airing of Taboo’s follow-up. But our best possible guess is that season two’s filming will commence in the last quarter of 2021. With that said, there is anticipation that it will be out by early 2022 or late 2022, at the least.

The first part of Taboo dropped in January 2017 and consisted of eight episodes. So, it is fair to assume that the second edition may follow the same pattern with a total of eight episodes.

Additionally, there is a piece of good news for fans as Steven Knight has confirmed that the BBC television series comprises two more parts including the second installment.
