Supacell star Ghetts will not feature in the second season of the Netflix series following his admission to killing international student Yubin Tamang in a hit-and-run crash.
According to Deadline, Ghetts’ involvement in Season 2 has been effectively ruled out, despite his casting never being officially confirmed. Sources cited by the outlet said the rapper and actor will play no further role in the series, which is currently in production in the United Kingdom.
Netflix and the show’s producers have not issued a formal statement, but filming is proceeding without his participation.

The development follows Ghetts’ guilty plea at the Old Bailey on Monday, where he admitted to causing death by dangerous driving. The 41-year-old appeared before the court via video link from Pentonville prison, marking a significant moment in a case that has attracted widespread public and industry attention.
The fatal incident occurred on October 18, when the Metropolitan Police said Ghetts was driving his BMW at more than twice the 30mph speed limit on a London road. He struck Yubin Tamang, a 20-year-old international student, as he was crossing the street.
Police said Ghetts failed to stop at the scene, leaving Tamang critically injured. He was arrested at his home address about four hours after the collision. Tamang died two days later while receiving treatment in the hospital.
Sentencing in the case has been scheduled for February 12, 2026. The guilty plea has effectively ended any prospect of Ghetts returning to the Netflix drama amid the ongoing legal process.
In Supacell Season 1, Ghetts played Krazy, one of the series’ antagonists. The character’s storyline ended ambiguously, with Krazy appearing to be shot in the finale, though his death was not confirmed on screen, prompting speculation about a possible return.
Supacell, created by Andrew Onwubolu, better known as Rapman, follows a group of ordinary South London residents who suddenly develop superpowers, blending social realism with superhero elements. Since its debut last year, the series has reportedly surpassed 450 million views on Netflix, establishing it as one of the platform’s most successful UK originals.
Rapman confirmed that production on Season 2 was underway in an Instagram post dated October 6, just 12 days before the fatal crash involving Ghetts.
