What you need to know about this “rollicking good time” British crime drama before it returns to Netflix

Anticipation is growing steadily for the comeback of Guy Ritchie’s British crime drama, The Gentlemen – a film we previously characterized as superior in almost all aspects compared to its 2019 source material.

When it debuted in March of 2024, the show quickly gained popularity on Netflix, remaining at the top of their charts for extended periods. Word-of-mouth recommendations further boosted its reach. Critics and audiences alike praised the series, with the New York Post calling it “a rollicking good time,” IGN Movies describing it as “slick, stylish, and well-cast,” and Fotogramas saying it’s “entertaining enough to binge.

Now, we’ve moved on to season two, tantalizing us with actor lineups and sneak peeks right off the set. I’ll share more details about that soon.

In 2024, “The Gentlemen” – featuring gun-wielding chickens and drug-dealing Dukes – proved to be a massive success among viewers. Given Guy Ritchie’s status as one of the industry’s most renowned creators who crafts genuinely British tales with his unique blend of bravado, grit, and humor, this isn’t exactly unexpected. The UK content VP for Netflix shared this sentiment with Variety upon the show’s renewal announcement.

The statement continued by expressing Netflix’s excitement about receiving additional episodes of “The Gentlemen“, and they eagerly anticipate finding out what will transpire.

It’s likely that fans share our enthusiasm. However, let me clarify what details we have on season two thus far, and provide an estimate for its release date.

Fans probably feel as excited as we do. So, here’s what we know about season two so far, and a rough idea of when it might be available to stream.

As a warning, spoilers for the first season of The Gentlemen will be discussed from this point on.

When will The Gentlemen season 2 release on Netflix?

At this point it’s way too early to have a confirmed date, or even a general idea of a window.

Based on what was previously stated, the initial season of the popular show premiered in March 2024. It’s possible that Netflix may consider releasing another season around the same time in 2026, although there’s no concrete evidence supporting this theory.

It’s been confirmed that the second season of “The Gentlemen” is being made right now, but since filming started in June 2025, it remains uncertain exactly when they’ll finish up the production.

As ever, we’ll bring you official news and updates as soon as we have them.

Who from the cast of The Gentlemen will return for season 2?

Here’s when things start to become more specific: Netflix has verified that three principal characters will return for another round, with Theo James (depicting Eddie, also recognized as the latest Duke of Halstead), Kaya Scodelario (portraying Susie Glass, a powerful figure who manages her father Bobby’s criminal empire) and Daniel Ings (portraying Eddie’s brother Freddy) set to reprise their characters.

In addition, the following have also been announced to return:

• Ray Winstone as Bobby Glass
• Vinnie Jones as Geoff Seacombe
• Giancarlo Esposito as Uncle Stan
• Joely Richardson as Lady Sabrina
• Michael Vu as Jimmy Chang
• Harry Goodwins as Jack
• Ruby Sear as Gabrielle
• Pearce Quigley as Gospel John

The newcomers to the cast are Benjamin Clementine (for ‘Dune’), Amra Mallassi (for ‘Dune: Part Two’), Benedetta Porcaroli (‘Immaculate’), Michele Morrone (‘Another Simple Favour’), Tyler Conti from ‘Safe’, and Sergio Castellitto, who was in ‘Conclave’.

Additionally, Chris Eubank Jr, a well-known British boxer, and Maya Jama, currently hosting the summer season of Love Island on ITV2, have been confirmed for the second season.

What’s the latest update for The Gentlemen season 2?

In the set of season two, recently leaked photos show some familiar characters actively involved in scenes, offering a sneak peek of their return.

Among the images – provided by Digital Spy – is one showing the main character Eddie donning a fashionable brown coat as a motorcyclist approaches. Another photo hints at the anticipated return of Vinnie Jones’ character, Geoff Seacombe, the gamekeeper of Halstead Manor.

What is the plot for The Gentlemen season 2?

Given the current state of things, there isn’t much information available yet about where the upcoming season might be headed. However, Netflix has disclosed that the new episodes will start a year after Eddie and Susie, who are now romantically linked and partners in Bobby’s criminal organization, made their decision.

It appears there might be a growing unease, since the choices Bobby’s making lately seem less than prudent.

As I excitedly anticipate the start of season two, I’m thrilled about the location change! Just as Guy Ritchie shared through Tudum, the upcoming narrative will spread its wings, not only geographically but also thematically. We’ll be traveling from the serene English countryside to the picturesque Italian lakes, making for a truly captivating journey.

As a devoted fan, I find myself in the midst of a complex and tumultuous empire, where Eddie and Susie seem to be under constant siege by mysterious newcomers on all sides. Ritchie hinted that the risks are escalating, and the balance of power is becoming dangerously unstable…

Regarding the evolving bond between Eddie and Susie, Theo James hinted, “I believe they’ve found a unique kind of love for one another. Yet, I suspect they’ll never fully rely on each other due to their fundamental differences and contrasting backgrounds.

“There’s a love between them, but ultimately they will never be from the same cloth.”

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m excited to share that I can dive back into the world of The Gentlemen right now, as season 1 is streaming live on Netflix! Keep an eye out for future updates, as we eagerly await the production of season 2, set to drop at a later time.
