What will happen in series four?
Bosses are yet to give away any details about the plotline for series four, but the writers are expected to further unravel unresolved arcs from the third series, with fresh characters and shifting power dynamics in focus.
Without giving away too many spoilers from series three, the fourth instalment could also explore Simone's shock decision to legalise drugs in London, as well carrying on from the huge cliffhanger at the end of series three, where two gunshots were heard...
