Everything to Know About The Gentlemen Season 2 on Netflix

At the start of 2020, filmmaker Guy Ritchie released his film The Gentlemen, a wacky, over-the-top crime caper intended as a throwback to his early films likeSnatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. And apparently the powers-that-be at Netflix liked it so much that they asked Ritchie to turn that general concept — hijinks involving cannabis farms hidden under the estates of noble English families — into a series. And that's exactly what he did.

The series adaptation, also called The Gentlemen, focuses on Theo James as Eddie Horniman, the younger son of the Duke of Halstead who unexpectedly inherits the estate when his father dies, passing over his older brother Freddy (Daniel Ings), who is just too much of a clown to be the Duke. Freddy also, unfortunately, has some big debts to some very bad people. Eddie plans to sell the estate to pay those debts, but changes his mind when he learns his new estate houses a secret weed farm run by a nice young lady named Susie Glass (Kaya Scodelario). And from there, things get really weird.

The first season of The Gentlemen arrived in March 2024, and Netflix renewed the series for a second season not long after. More of The Gentlemen is coming. Scroll on to see what we know about Season 2 so far.

The Gentlemen Season 2 release date

While we don't have a release date yet, The Gentlemen Season 2 is included on Netflix's list of 2026 releases. And since the season has already been filmed, there's no reason to expect it to miss that mark.

The Gentlemen Season 2 cast and crew

Guy Ritchie is co-writing and directing The Gentlemen Season 2, just as he did Season 1, with co-writer Matthew Read also returning to help craft the new season. Eran Creevy, who directed two episodes in Season 1, is also returning to do the same in Season 2. On top of that, Netflix's renewal announcement included mention that the three core cast members — James, Scodelario, and Ings — would also be coming back, which is not very surprising. Now that Season 2 has completed production, we've learned that basically everybody else is coming back too. Among the most notable new cast members, meanwhile, are Hugh Bonneville and Michele Morrone, and boxer Chris Eubank Jr. will apparently have a role to play as well.

• Theo James as Eddie Horniman
• Kaya Scodelario as Susie Glass
• Daniel Ings as Freddy Horniman
• Ray Winstone as Bobby Glass
• Giancarlo Esposito as Stanley Johnson
• Joely Richardson as Lady Sabrina
• Vinnie Jones as Geoff Seacombe
• Michael Vu as Jimmy
• Hugh Bonneville
• Michele Morrone
• Benedetta Porcaroli

Where Season 1 of The Gentlemen left off

After a lot of back and forth, it appeared as though Stanley Johnston was poised to take control of the Horniman's estate, but a number of Eddie's behind-the-scenes machinations came to fruition at just the right moment, and Johnston was arrested for a whole pile of crimes, including murder, before he was able to complete the deal. With Johnstone out of the way, and despite the fact that he spent half the season trying to escape from his family's arrangement with Susie and her father, Eddie decides to go all in on the drug business.

The Gentlemen Season 2 storyline

We don't know a ton of details about where the story will go in Season 2, but there will be a one-year time jump between seasons. Here's what we've got from Netflix so far:

"It's been one year since Eddie and Susie joined forces to work together in Bobby's criminal empire overseas. As they drive to expand their enterprise, the decisions Bobby is making seem to be increasingly unsound.  Now Eddie and Susie must decide whether to take action or risk losing it all, but unfettered ambition never ends well..."

That's pretty vague, but it looks like Season 2 may pit the youngin's against the old man. But this is still a Guy Ritchie story, so you can bet it'll be a lot more complicated than just that.
