Netflix's The Gentlemen Reveals Full Season 2 Cast As Filming Begins In UK
The Gentlemen is locked and loaded for a new season, now filming in the UK, Netflix announced on Wednesday.
A TVLine "Hidden Gem" of 2024, the action-comedy was described thusly by our Rebecca Luther: "If you've found yourself tiring of TV's endless string of dour crime dramas, consider The Gentlemen a perfect palate cleanser. The stakes get high, but [it] refuses to take itself too seriously."
WHO'S BACK FOR SEASON 2?
The Gentlemen's renewal was announced in August 2024, with Netflix confirming that Theo James, Kaya Scodelario and Daniel Ings would be reprising their roles as aristocrat Eddie Horniman, drug empire heiress Susie Glass, and Eddie's cocaine-addicted older brother Freddy.
Season 2 will also see the return of Ray Winstone as Susie's father Bobby; Joely Richardson as Eddie's mother Sabrina, the Duchess of Halstead; Vinnie Jones as Halstead Manor's longtime gamekeeper, Geoffrey; Jasmine Blackborow as Eddie's younger sister Lady Charlotte "Charly" Horniman; Michael Vu as weed grower Jimmy Chang; Harry Goodwins as Susie's brother, boxer Jack Glass; Ruby Sear as mystery woman Gabrielle; Pearce Quigley as Scouse crime family boss John "The Gospel" Dixon; and Giancarlo Esposito as American billionaire Stanley Johnston.
WHO'S NEW FOR SEASON 2?
New for Season 2 are Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey), Benjamin Clementine, Benedetta Porcaroli (Baby), Michele Morrone (The Trial), Sergio Castellito (Il nostro generale), Amra Mallassi, Tyler Conti (Hollyoaks), British professional boxer Chris Eubank Jr., and TV host/DJ Maya Jama (Love Island).
WHAT IS SEASON 2 ABOUT?
As Season 2 opens (premiere date TBA), "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...."
Says series creator Guy Ritchie, "I am delighted to return to set for Season 2 of The Gentlemen. 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."
