Hardy’s return shouldn’t be a surprise as he helped build the British drama and created his own character, James Delaney to accomplish many acting challenges he wished to grapple. Last year he told the Radio Times that he wanted to play all the classic roles in one character such as Sherlock Holmes, Bill Sykes, Hannibal Lecter, Heathcliff and Marlow. Looks like Tom Hardy is quite ambitious.

Taboo season 2 will continue from where the first season ended. The teasing ending of the first season will set the stage for an exciting Taboo season 2. The maker of the show has promised that the second season will be explosive.
The second season will reportedly feature James and his crew next arriving at Ponta Delgada, which is situated in the Azores, a remote group of Portuguese islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. According to Knight, Taboo is the story of misfits and America. As we already know, that James is headed to America but it could take some time before he arrives at his final destination.
