Netflix has confirmed the final season of Top Boy is landing next month, having shared a dramatic new trailer.
"NO LOOSE ENDS," the trailer warns, with the streamer adding on Twitter: "Top Boy. The Final Chapter. 7 September."
We also see our first glimpse of Barry Keoghan, the breakout star from last year's The Banshees of Inisherin, who joins the lineup as Jonny.

The popular crime drama, which is set on the fictional East London estate of Summerhouse, has become a huge fan favourite since debuting in 2011 on Channel 4 - later being picked up by Netflix.
A synopsis for the new season from Netflix says: "Sully’s actions at the end of the last series have rewritten his business rules with Dushane.
"As new shared problems arise, everything they've built comes under threat from forces outside and within their empire.
"Can they coexist by the rules of the road they’ve lived by their whole lives in a world that is changing before them? Or can there only be one TOP BOY?"

The series stars Ashley Walters (Bulletproof, Small Island), Kane Robinson (The Kitchen), Simbiatu Ajikawo ‘Little Simz’, Jasmine Jobson (Lie Low, Obey), Araloyin Oshunremi (Heartstopper), rap and grime artist Natalie Athanasiou ‘NoLay’, Saffron Hocking (London Kills, White Gold), Joshua Blissett (Blue Story, Young Wallander), Adwoa Aboah (Willow).
Along with Keoghan, the new series will also see fellow Dubliner Brian Gleeson (Bad Sisters, Peaky Blinders, Frank of Ireland) joining the cast.
After the trailer dropped, fans could not be more excited for the final instalment, with one tweeting: "Very much looking forward to watching this."
Someone else said: "I’ve got goosebumps."

A third commented: "LET’S F**KIN GOOOOOOOOO."
However, others admitted things felt bittersweet as the new season also marked the 'end of an era'.
Another wrote: "Oh my God. One of the best shows ever coming to an end!"
The first two series of the crime thriller were broadcast on Channel 4, but the channel dropped the show before a third series could be made.
However, rapper Drake piped up to say how much he loved it - which was when Netflix got involved and revived the show.

The streamer has since released two series - this latest instalment being the third - deciding to rebrand the original two Channel 4 seasons as Top Boy: Summerhouse.
The final series of Top Boy arrives on Netflix on 7 September.
