The Outlaws' third season is its last

Stephen Merchant has revealed that The Outlaws season three could be the swan song of the comedy crime thriller. Starring Merchant, Rhianne Barreto, Gamba Cole, Darren Boyd, Clare Perkins, Eleanor Tomlinson, Jessica Gunning, Charles Babalola, Tom Hanson, Claes Bang and Christopher Walken, The Outlaws series follows a group of people thrown together when they all have to do community service. Their luck seems to change when they find a bag of money, unaware that the actual owners are dangerous.

Prime Video and BBC had renewed the series for a third season before season two had aired.



Merchant said the following about the future of The Outlaws:

“I think this series concludes in a very nice way and hopefully might bring a tear to the eye, so if it does then that would be great. I am so pleased it’s run this long. I’ve enjoyed the cast, filming in my hometown of Bristol and dropping into this genre. It ticks a lot of boxes for me in terms of what I wanted to do with it.”

Will there be a fourth season? Merchant doesn’t expect to make one, but “never say never.” “The problem at the moment is whenever I finish a project, I feel a bit burned out and need to take some time away to regroup.”

While this story appears to have come to a close, Merchant shared the possibility of an anthology-style series that would follow other community work groups in other cities.
