Returning to the World of The Gentlemen
The Gentlemen, inspired by Guy Ritchie’s 2019 film featuring Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Hugh Grant, Colin Farrell, and Michelle Dockery, continues its distinctive style in its streaming adaptation. The show maintains its signature look with sharp suits and sprawling estates, while delving into the criminal underworld beneath these stately homes.
The story centers on Freddie Horniman, portrayed by Theo James, a former British Army officer who unexpectedly becomes the Duke following his father’s death. His inheritance unveils a hidden marijuana business on his estate, dragging him into a chaotic world of crime and alliances. Teaming up with Susie Glass, played by Kaya Scodelario, Freddie becomes deeply involved in running a drug empire filled with shifting loyalties and escalating threats.
An Expanded Story and Larger Cast
The upcoming season promises to broaden the narrative, as confirmed by Guy Ritchie, who continues as executive producer and director alongside Eran Creevey. Ritchie is also collaborating with Matthew Read on the script. Laura Jackson and Max Keene continue producing, with support from Moonage Pictures and Miramax Television.
In his remarks to Netflix, Ritchie said,
“This chapter sees a deliberate expansion, both geographically and thematically, as we journey from the English countryside to the Italian lakes. Eddie and Susie find themselves navigating an increasingly volatile empire as they’re besieged on all fronts by an influx of enigmatic new players. The stakes are heightened, the power dynamics are more precarious, and I’m thrilled to be collaborating once again with this exceptional cast and crew.”
