EP Talks More Seasons, How Tom Hardy Got The Role

According to Radiotimes, Knight has been planning to make two or three more seasons of "Taboo". With its positive review, it is not surprising if Hardy and its veteran cast will also return to complete the dark story of James Delaney.

Meanwhile, in his other interviews, Knight tells Collider that Hardy's participation in "Taboo" is merely a deal between two men that both have creatively pitched for stories.

"...while we were talking about Taboo, I was also putting together Locke, so in the same conversation, I said, "Would you want to do Locke?" I explained it, and we did a deal where he would do Locke if I did Taboo," says Knight.

For starters, speaking of "Taboo", a dark yet beautifully written story about James Delaney is created by Tom Hardy, Edward "Chips" Hardy, and Steven Knight. It is a story of James' life after coming home to London after spending his life in Africa for almost twelve years. As he spends his time in his homeland, he then discovers the conspiracy, torture, betrayal, and murder encircled in his life and family.
