Release

edit

The film was released on 10 September 2018 by Sony Pictures and was the biggest first week on DVD of any non-theatrical British film that year.[1]

Reception

edit

On: Yorkshire Magazine said, "The movie doesn’t outstay its welcome, and while it obviously won’t be for all tastes, if you like Brit indie gangster flicks with a mean streak, this certainly passes the time, even if it does feel like a feature-length teaser for something bigger."[2]

Sequel

edit

Due to the success of the film, writer and director Richard John Taylor announced a sequel, entitled The Krays: New Blood that would see Marc Pickering and Nathanjohn Carter, Nicholas Ball, Josh Myers and Triana Terry reprise their roles and that it would focus on the death of Reggie’s wife Frances Kray, and the possibility that Ronnie may have played a role in her death. It was set to be released in 2021, although this may have been pushed back due to the coronavirus pandemic.[3][4]
