The Gentlemen season 2 will be back with the quirky characters created by Guy Ritchie, as confirmed by Netflix in August 2024. The series is a spin-off of Ritchie's 2019 film The Gentlemen, starring Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Henry Golding, Michelle Dockery, Jeremy Strong, Eddie Marsan, Colin Farrell, and Hugh Grant.

Like the film, the series mixes aristocracy, drug trade, and hooliganism to provide an entertaining narrative that grips the viewer with its humorous storytelling. The Gentlemen season 2 will consist of eight episodes.

The series premiered on March 7, 2024, with universal acclaim. It stars Theo James, Kaya Scodelario, Daniel Ings, Joely Richardson, Joshua McGuire, and Vinnie Jones in prominent roles.

The Gentleman season 2 will have eight episodes

As mentioned above, Netflix announced the second season, which consists of eight new episodes, in August 2024. The series achieved global success after its release, reaching the Netflix global Top 10 TV chart, according to Screen Rant. In addition, the show's creator was also nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series.

According to a RadioTimes report dated August 22, 2024, the filming for The Gentlemen season 2 will likely begin in 2025, meaning that fans can expect a release date somewhere around 2026. The show's producer, Marc Helwig, in an interview with Deadline published on March 8, 2024, said:

"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."

About The Gentlemen season 2

The Gentlemen explores the world of the criminal underbelly of aristocratic Britain in more detail than the original movie. The first season follows Eddie, who inherits a sizable country estate after his father's death, which also includes an illegal weed farm located underneath it. Adding to Eddie's problem is his troublemaker elder brother, Freddy.

To solve the issues created by his brother, Eddie teams up with the sophisticated daughter of a crime boss, Susie. But things keep escalating, pushing him deeper into the pits of the criminal underbelly. Here is the official logline of the show:

"In this fast-paced crime series, a duke inherits his father's estate and discovers a weed farm in the grounds."

The Gentlemen season 2 will explore the story further and explore Eddie and Susie's relationship in greater detail. Talking about the upcoming season, Guy Ritchie told Netflix in November 2023:

"The world of The Gentlemen is a little bit of me. We’re looking forward to bringing fans back into that world, introducing new characters and their stories, and I am excited to be doing it with this extremely talented cast."
