According to Variety, the popular Guy Ritchie Netflix series The Gentlemen, which is based on the 2019 movie of the same name, is getting a second season. This comes after the huge success of the first season, which successfully replaced the entire cast from the movie and told a new story in the same setting as the original.
Guy Ritchie will return as the director, with Theo James and Kaya Scodelario set to come back as Eddie Horniman and Susie Glass. Ritchie’s co-writer, Matthew Read, will also return to write the eight confirmed episodes.
Currently, there is no news about the plot or new cast members, but fans are still very excited about the return of this thrilling, action-packed series. Speaking to Variety, Netflix UK’s content VP said:
“With its gun-toting chickens and drug-dealing Dukes, ‘The Gentlemen’ was a huge hit with audiences in 2024. Not really a surprise as Guy Ritchie remains one of the industry’s most iconic creators telling authentically British stories with his signature swagger, grit and wit.
We are thrilled the series will be returning to Netflix for a second season, and cannot wait to see what happens when the worlds of old money and drug money collide once more.”
What Is The Update?
During a previous episode of Ladies Night, Perri Nemiroff interviewed Scodelario about The Gentlemen and hinted at this exciting Netflix announcement. When talking about the possibility of a second season, Scodelario mentioned that she and co-star James had already discussed it.
She said, “I don’t know what I’m allowed to say. I will say that Theo and I have discussed it. I think we both would be excited to take these characters on a slightly different journey.” Scodelario also emphasized how important Ritchie’s quality is for a second season, saying:
“I don’t think either of us would want to do a second season if we didn’t feel as though we were doing justice to our characters and taking them on a whole new adventure, something equally as exciting and interesting but even kind of bigger and better. That’s really important to us. If that can happen, great. I think we’d be down.”
