“The Gentlemen” has been renewed for season 2 on Netflix

Guy Ritchie’s ‘The Gentlemen’ will continue on Netflix. The streamer has renewed the crime thriller series for a second season, with Theo James, Kaya Scodelario and Daniel Ings set to reprise their roles. Ritchie will also return as director, co-writer, creator and executive producer.

Additional casting news for “The Gentlemen” Season 2 will be announced at a later date, with filming set to begin next year. The second season will consist of eight episodes.

The series is based on Ritchie’s 2019 film of the same name and follows Eddie Horniman (James) who unexpectedly inherits his father’s sizable country estate – only to discover that it is part of a cannabis empire. What’s more, a host of unsavory characters from Britain’s criminal underworld want a piece of the operation. Determined to free his family from their clutches, Eddie tries to play the gangsters at their own game.

The Netflix series performed extremely well when it launched in March of this year, garnering 1.21 billion minutes watched in its first four days, according to Nielsen.

Ritchie will co-write season 2 with Matthew Read. Executive producers are Ritchie, Will Gould, Matthew Read and Frith Tiplady for Moonage Pictures; Marc Helwig for Miramax Television and Ivan Atkinson.
