Top Boy legend Ashley Walters reveals who really killed Sully in shocking twist

Top Boy star Ashley Walters has revealed the answer to one of the biggest questions in the hit Netflix series: 'Who killed Sully?'

Speculation has been rife among fans ever since the finale in 2023 regarding the key question that left the celebrated show on a cliffhanger. In the series's final moments, after Stefan (Araloyin Oshunremi) spares Sully's (Kano) life, a mystery figure walks up to Sully's car and shoots him through the window.

But now, fans have finally gotten an answer, with Walters revealing the truth while being asked a separate question about the series on the new episode of re:WORKING with Tim Campbell,

"And Jaq (played by Jasmine Jobson) is the answer to your other question you keep on asking," he said.

Host Campbell then asked: "What’s the other question?", to which Walters replied: "Bro, that is the biggest question."

He went on to clarify: "It was me and Kane [Robinson] that made the ending that way, because they had the whole killing and we went in the edit and we was like, 'Nah, don’t tell people who did it, cut it out, who did it."

Top Boy might have finished its main run with season 5 in 2023, but Netflix recently confirmed fans would get to return to the world with not one but two new spin-off shows.

The first is Jonny Boy, a five-episode series that has been written by Ronan Bennett, who created the original series.

Johnny Boy will see Barry Keoghan return as Jonny McGee, one of the main villains of season 5.

The other show, which currently has the working title Jaq, will focus on the titular character, with Jasmine Jobson reprising the role. Ryan Calais Cameron will serve as the creator and writer, but as to whether he will begin the show with Jaq's killing of Sully remains to be seen.

Jonny Boy and Jaq are coming soon to Netflix. You can sign up to Netflix from £5.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky TV and Virgin Media.
