“Some secrets should remain buried. James Keziah Delaney refuses to let them stay that way.”
After years of silence, Taboo returns with its long-awaited second season, plunging deeper into the shadows of power, betrayal, and identity. Tom Hardy reprises his role as James Keziah Delaney, now crossing the Atlantic in search of freedom—but the demons he carries are not left behind.
In the aftermath of Season 1’s bloody departure from London, Delaney and his loyal crew set sail for America. Yet even as they escape British shores, new enemies gather. The East India Company—still reeling from Delaney’s defiance—extends its reach into the New World, determined to finish what it started. In America, Delaney finds a fractured landscape teetering on the edge of war, where old debts and deeper conspiracies await.
Rumors swirl of occult societies, buried fortunes, and secrets so dangerous they threaten not just Delaney’s life, but the fragile peace between empires. As he delves further into his mysterious lineage and the supernatural undercurrents that haunt him, the distinction between man and myth begins to collapse.
Driven by Hardy’s fierce, magnetic presence and Steven Knight’s unflinching vision, Taboo – Season 2 expands its world with higher stakes, more brutal consequences, and a deeper reckoning with the cost of survival.
