Guy Ritchie-directed crime series The Gentlemen has been renewed for a second season by Netflix.
The series, inspired by the Ritchie movie of the same name, explores the underbelly of aristocratic Britain and the criminal misadventures of Eddie Horniman and Susie Glass.
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.
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.
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.
