Gangs of London spoilers follow.
Gangs of London star Joe Cole has spoken about what to expect in season three, saying that he would like to see Lale play a bigger role in future episodes.
Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, the actor said he hopes we'll see more of Narges Rashidi's character following the shock reveal in season two's finale.
As fans of the show will know, Sean (Cole) betrayed Lale and handed her over to Asif Afridi (Asif Raza Mir) to be killed. Only for the mafia leader to spare her life and an alliance to form between the pair, leaving Sean at risk.

"There’s so many options, isn’t there?" Cole said, when asked about the possible future storylines involving his character and Lale.
"Obviously Narges Rashidi is a beast, and such a great character and actor," the Peaky Blinders actor added. "So hopefully we’ll see a lot more of her in season three."
Cole also touched on what's in store for the upcoming season of Gangs of London, revealing he doesn't yet know what's next for his character. "No clue yet. They’ve had story writers on it for a while," he said.
"They’ve had a couple of guys working on it, and developing storylines for the last few months. I’m yet to hear anything."

Speaking about the project, the actor said he was "excited" for people to see it, adding that he hoped it would educate viewers.
"I think it’s a very important piece that hopefully is an important watch for many people, and will educate a lot of people."
