The Netflix series The Gentlemen Season 2 has been renewed officially. The Gentlemen is a TV series created by Guy Ritchie, based on his 2019 film of the same name. The show will return in a new season with eight episodes, based on its first season, which held the interest of audiences due to its action, comedy, and crime drama.
The statement confirms the returning roles of stars Theo James and Kaya Scodelario as Eddie Horniman and Susie Glass, respectively, while Guy Ritchie returns as writer and director. Renewal will most definitely get fans excited for more from the adventures of Eddie in this dark setting for crime from Britain.
What can the fans expect from The Gentlemen Season 2?
The second season of The Gentlemen can pick up the story of Eddie Horniman, an aristocrat who inherits his father's estate only to find it is part of a large empire for growing cannabis.
In the first season, Eddie got entangled in a world of crime when he tried to outsmart a handful of dangerous characters.
The second season most probably will be involved with the aftermath of Eddie becoming more and more deeply involved in this shady world as he wrestles with his family legacy against threats from new enemies he is making.
It'll keep fans on the edges of their seats for more high-stakes drama, wittier dialogue, and unexpected plot twists.
Who is returning to the cast of The Gentlemen Season 2?
The two leads from the main cast are slated to return for The Gentlemen Season 2: Theo James and Kaya Scodelario.
Theo James plays Eddie Horniman, the protagonist of the show, while Kaya Scodelario plays Susie Glass, one of the people instrumental in the drug empire that Eddie is going to inherit.
The Gentlemen Season 1 also featured Daniel Ings in the lead, while Joely Richardson and Giancarlo Esposito turned in good performances, though neither of them has been confirmed for the new season.
Further casting announcements about The Gentlemen season 2 will be made closer to production. The filming for the second season will begin in 2025.
What happened in The Gentlemen Season 1?
Eddie Horniman, played by Theo James, discovers that he is to inherit his father's large country pile. It turns out to be part of a large cannabis empire, with the estate—formerly some aristocratic family's country pile—now acting as Europe's biggest weed farm.
Eddie must now traverse the strange politics of this underworld and deal with unsavory personalities from Britain's criminal circles, all of whom have their own agendas for the operation. It is a narrative of intrigue, peril, and unexpected discoveries as Eddie grapples with his father's legacy and the criminal empire lying beneath the idyllic facade.
The Gentlemen Season 2 is returning with the action, comedy, and intrigue of the first season. With Theo James and Kaya Scodelario in the lead roles and Guy Ritchie at the helm, there is not much that could go wrong.
As production is about to get underway on Netflix, a lot more information will come out pretty soon, but viewers can rest easy knowing that Eddie Horniman's story is far from over.
