Joe Cole, who starred in the hit period crime drama show Peaky Blinders (2013), said to Sky News that after Peaky Blinders, he wasn't interested in any gang shows, but changed his mind when he read the script.
"I remember receiving the script and initially hearing 'Gangs of London' and thinking, I don't need to do another gang show, [But] it's the best script I've read in a long time and it's been made by some of the most incredible filmmakers across the board. I'm really excited. I think it's really special."
