Ronan Bennett talks about Jasmine Jobson’s role in the spinoff
Show creator Ronan Bennett spoke about Jaq Lawrence, the character of Jasmine Jobson back in January this year. He was uncertain whether it would be produced.
“You just never know if they’re going to get made,” he said. Bennett added, “And in fact, most shows that are developed actually don’t get made. You can write the script and, for whatever reason, they don’t get made. So you end up looking like a bit of a fool for mentioning it. But I have hopes that this will work.”
According to Deadline, other conversations between the creative team have taken place over whether to pen a prequel, Top Boy movie, or stage musical. Speaking on the same, the creator mentioned that these talks are in their very early stages.
Bennett said, “I think that the world of Top Boy, the world that we jointly created, is so rich, it’s so deep, and it has that fanatical following that it’s something that still has life in it.” He said that some shows reach their end stating, “And you kind of go.”
Ronan thanked God saying, “They’ve ended, I love that show, but they’ve run out of steam. But I do feel that there’s more juice to squeeze from Top Boy.”
