As of now, there hasn't been any official confirmation regarding the renewal of 'Sexy Beast'. Despite benefiting from the legacy of the cult film from the year 2000, the series received underwhelming reviews upon its debut.

The conclusion of Season 1 of 'Sexy Beast' suggests that the creators had intentions for another season. Fans are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to witness how their stories lead up to the events depicted in the 2000 film.

Should the series be renewed, it would undoubtedly be a delight for fans to discover what unfolds next in the lives of Gal Dove and Don Logan.

'Sexy Beast' takes place in the 1990s, revolving around two friends and thieves, Gal and Dove, who are propositioned by Teddy Bass (Stephen Moyer) to carry out a complex heist.

The storyline also delves into Gal Dove's long-term romance with Marjorie Kern (Eliza Bennett) and the complications that arise when he becomes infatuated with adult film star Deedee Harrison.

The season concludes with a cliffhanger, leaving Gal and Don facing new challenges following the completion of the heist.

A series of murders, accidents, shootouts, and heartbreaks leave viewers craving for a satisfying resolution in a potential Season 2.
