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.
