Season 1 introduced Theo James as Eddie Horniman, a military veteran who inherits his father’s dukedom and sprawling estate—only to discover a massive underground cannabis empire run by the sharp-suited Susie Glass (Kaya Scodelario) and her imprisoned kingpin father, Bobby (Ray Winstone). Reluctant at first, Eddie embraces the illicit world, forging a tense alliance with Susie while fending off eccentric rivals. By the finale, he co-owns the operation, setting up volatile power dynamics for the new season.

Creator Guy Ritchie returns to direct and co-write, teasing a “deliberate expansion” geographically—from English countryside to Italian lakes—and thematically, with Eddie and Susie navigating an increasingly unstable empire besieged by enigmatic new threats. “Sharper power plays, darker alliances, and the polished chaos of the Glass family” threaten to unravel everything, per Netflix’s synopsis.

Core cast members reprise their roles: Theo James as the suave yet deadly Eddie, Kaya Scodelario as the formidable Susie, Daniel Ings as Eddie’s erratic brother Freddy, and Ray Winstone as Bobby Glass. Joining them are exciting additions including Hugh Bonneville, Maya Jama, Benjamin Clementine, Benedetta Porcaroli, Michele Morrone, Sergio Castellito, Amra Mallassi, and Tyler Conti, alongside reported players like Ian Bonar and Cosimo Fusco.

Filming kicked off in May 2025 across the UK and Italy, wrapping ahead of schedule. The eight-episode season maintains Ritchie’s signature blend of witty banter, brutal violence, and intricate schemes, but promises a “bigger and darker” tone, as James has hinted.

A breakout hit in 2024, Season 1 captivated audiences with its fresh spin on Ritchie’s gangster universe, earning praise for the electric chemistry between James and Scodelario. Fans eager for more aristocratic mayhem won’t have long to wait—The Gentlemen Season 2 arrives on Netflix in 2026, ready to reignite the turf war.
