Potential third season

In a 2025 interview on the Vano VHS YouTube channel, Charles Falco and Damon Runyan discussed ideas for a possible third season of Gangland Undercover. Falco said the story could take place about a decade after Season 2, with flashbacks to events not previously shown, and would expand beyond biker gangs to include other criminal organizations he had infiltrated.
Runyan described the envisioned Falco as older, darker, and more morally ambiguous, with a stronger family element. He compared the tone to a violent, R-rated, Tarantino-style climax, and confirmed that some characters, including Darko, would return. Others, such as “The Devil,” would not appear, as the actor had died since the show’s airing. No third season has been announced.
