Top Boy is the award-winning drama series created by writer Ronan Bennett, about young people living on the edge and out of sight in East London today. The series is set in the fictional Summerhouse estate in Hackney and focuses on Dushane (Ashley Walters) and Sully (Kane Robinson) along with others involved with drug and gang violence in London. The series also stars a dynamic ensemble cast of first-time actors, brought together through extensive talent searches across London.
