The Gentlemen is an action comedy television series, created by acclaimed diector Guy Ritchie. It's a spin-off of his movie of the same name and follows Edward Horniman, who inherits 15,000 acres of land after the death of his father and becomes the new Duke. However, he soon discovers that part of the land is being used by Susie Glass and her criminal boss, who is also her father, Bobby Glass to grow illegal weed.
Netflix has announced that The Gentlemen is coming back with a new season, just five months after the first season debuted. Fans of the show will get to see Theo James and Kaya Scodelario reprise their roles in the eight-episode series.
The first season of The Gentlemen was a huge hit, and the creators believe the second season will be just as successful. In addition to the main cast, the second season will also feature Daniel Ings as Freddy Horniman.
What will Netflix’s The Gentlemen season 2 plot be about?
Season 2 of The Gentlemen on Netflix will continue its story after Eddie officially partners up with Susie. In season 1, Eddie tries to free his family from the grasp of evil men, but as he indulges in the criminal world to tackle them, he realises that he not only enjoys dealing with men from the cannabis trade, he is good at it as well.
As the plotline in season 1 proceeds, Horniman becomes a reluctant but genteel gangster as he partners with Susie. The two embark on the journey of facing numerous opposition from the rival gangster families. During an Interview with Netflix, James gave the viewers an idea of the plot of season 2.
“I think they’ve grown to love each other in their own way, but I think they’ll never fully trust each other because they are so different and they’re from such vastly different worlds. There’s a love between them, but ultimately they will never be from the same cloth.”
When was season 2 of The Gentlemen confirmed?
Netflix announced a second season of The Gentlemen on August 14, 2024. Producer Marc Helwig shared that they've been working on plans for the new season for a while.
"We have started the process…There are some writers we’ve talked to, certainly lots of discussion with Guy about what he might want to do in a second season, what things to focus on."
The show takes you back in time, introducing fresh faces to familiar stories, each with its unique twist. The talented cast breathes new life into the characters, bringing the words on the page to life on the screen. We can expect the second season to come up on Netflix sometime around 2025 or early 2026.
The 2019 film The Gentlemen got a good response from the audience, with an 84% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Later, the 2024 spinoff series did even better, with an 87% score. It also succeeded on Netflix, staying in the top 10 charts for two weeks straight. With previous results, fans hope that Guy Ritchie's season 2 will also stand up to the audience's expectations and hit the Netlix’s top chart again.
Season 1 of the series produced by Moonage Pictures is available for fans to watch on Netflix.
