Netflix announced the renewal of The Gentlemen for a season 2! So the criminal misadventures of Eddie Horniman and Susie Glass will continue for eight episodes more. The series is set in the world of Miramax’s film, with a whole new cast, combining Hollywood talent and British film and TV legends and offers depth into this criminal world and a new story to get stuck into. Ready?
Here we go!
The Gentlemen follows Eddie (Theo James), who becomes the new Duke of Halstead following his father’s death. In addition to the new title, Eddie also inherits the family’s sizable country estate — and the illegal weed farm located underneath it, run by the sophisticated yet ruthless Susie (Kaya Scodelario) and her crime boss father Bobby Glass (Ray Winstone).
Although hesitant to join the criminal lifestyle at first, he develops a taste for it and finds an unexpected ally in Susie as they face down the UK and Europe’s most notorious and hilarious gangster families. And by the end of the first eight episodes, Eddie solidifies himself as co-owner — along with Susie and Bobby — of the Glass’ massive weed empire.
James, Scodelario, and Daniel Ings — who plays Eddie’s brother Freddy — are confirmed to reprise their roles in the eight-episode second season, and additional casting news will be announced at a later date. Ritchie is returning to direct, and will co-write the series with Matthew Read. Filming is expected to commence next year and here’s the first look at everything that await us!
The Gentlemen is produced by Moonage Pictures for Netflix and Miramax Television. Executive producers include Ritchie; Will Gould, Read, and Frith Tiplady for Moonage Pictures; Marc Helwig for Miramax Television; and Ivan Atkinson.
The Gentlemen season 2 will premiere on Netflix soon.
