The first season of the crime drama was a huge hit when it was released earlier this year, becoming the biggest Sky Original drama launch on Sky Atlantic of the past five years, and the acclaimed show has been commissioned for another run.
Zai Bennett, Sky UK's managing director of content, said: "Not only is 'Gangs of London' Sky's most-binged premiere box-set this year, it's the biggest original drama launch on Sky Atlantic of the past five years.
"It's dark, dangerous and we are thrilled it is coming back for a second series."
AMC has picked up the US TV rights for the hit series, which stars the likes of Joe Cole, Sope Dirisu, Lucian Msamati and Michelle Fairley.
The US TV channel is also joining as a co-producer for series two.
Zai said: "We couldn't be more pleased to welcome AMC to our gang for series two alongside the teams at Pulse Films, SISTER and Sky Studios.
"Will the Wallace family rise again, will the Dumanis remain loyal to their new allies and who is Elliot really working for? All these questions and more will be waiting for Sky viewers when 'Gangs of London' returns to screens in 2022."
Dan McDermott, the president of original programming for AMC and co-president of AMC Studios, has hailed 'Gangs of London' as an "explosive crime series".
He said: "'Gangs of London' is a cinematic thrill ride that set screens ablaze with a stellar cast, elevated drama and epic storylines, and we couldn't be more excited to raise the pulse of our audiences with this explosive crime series."
