Netflix has released new images of Brian Gleeson and Barry Keoghan in the third and final season of the crime drama Top Boy, which launches on Thursday 7 September.

Ahead of the finale, the show's creator, Belfast novelist Ronan Bennett, said: "Sometimes you can't believe your luck.

"I was writing an Irish part for the final season of Top Boy when Barry Keoghan got in touch to say he was a huge fan of the show and could he be in it.

"I know Barry knocks on doors when there's a project he is passionate about, and I was only too happy to open this one.

"Barry brings intensity and authenticity to everything he does and we were delighted when he came on board.

"Our next job was to find the right actor to hold his own alongside Barry as his partner in crime.

"In Brian Gleeson we found that and much, much more. He is a remarkable actor, and, as audiences will see, together he and Barry make a very menacing duo."
