Top Boy fans were over the moon when Barry Keoghan made an appearance as an Irish gangster in the final series.
The popular Netflix drama recently returned to screens this week and fans were surprised to see Barry's character - a gangster called Jonny who becomes Sully's (played by Kano) main drug supplier. Fans also got to see Barry act alongside Irish actor Brian Gleeson - who starred in Frank of Ireland and Bad Sisters.
Barry's character, Jonny, committed several terrifying and brutal acts in the series but fans were just happy to have the actor on their television screens. Viewers rushed to the comment section to rave about The Banshees of Inisherin actor, with one writing: "You say Barry Keoghan is in the new season of Top Boy? I guess I am finally going to watch the series."

"Barry Keoghan in the new series of Top Boy is an elite decision," one impressed fan commented while one said: "Barry Keoghan is some serious talent to bring in for this new Top Boy season." Another added: "Barry Keoghan is a world-class actor, and is due to be one of the world's best. Great decision to get him involved in Top Boy for its final season. He is eating everything up, total 90 actor, impeccable stuff."
Barry has appeared in many acclaimed movies, including The Killing of a Sacred Deer, Dunkirk, The Green Knight and The Batman. He also has a few movies coming out in the near future, including Bring Them Down and Bird.
Fans had to wait over a year to catch up with drug dealers Dushane (Ashley Walters) and Sully as they fight to survive on the fictional Summerhouse estate in Hackney, London. The previous series ended with the shocking murder of gang rival turned protege Jamie (Michael Ward) by Sully, which wrecked Dushane’s retirement plans.
The show originally began on Channel 4 in 2011, where it ran for two seasons before being dropped and later revived by Netflix for its three-series run. The synopsis for the latest season reads: “Sully’s actions at the end of the last series have rewritten his business rules with Dushane. As new shared problems arise, everything they’ve built comes under threat from forces outside and within their empire. Can they coexist by the rules of the road they’ve lived by their whole lives in a world that is changing before them? Or can there only be one Top Boy?”
