Eddie and Susie expand their empire to the Italian lakes

Season 2 picks up a year after Eddie and Susie join Bobby Glass’s criminal organization. Now tasked with expanding their operations abroad, they largely leave the English countryside behind for the Italian lakes.

This expansion is being undermined by Bobby's increasingly unpredictable moves. Eddie and Susie must decide whether to step in and steer the empire themselves, or risk losing what they’ve built. Their growing ambitions could also tilt the balance of their relationship, which since season one has rested on a wary, highly effective alliance.

New challengers join Season 2

Theo James, Kaya Scodelario and Daniel Ings will reprise their roles as Eddie, Susie and Freddy. Ray Winstone will return as Bobby Glass, joined by Joely Richardson, Vinnie Jones, Giancarlo Esposito, Jasmine Blackborow, Michael Vu, Harry Goodwins, Ruby Sear and Pearce Quigley.

The season will also feature Hugh Bonneville, Benjamin Clementine, Benedetta Porcaroli, Michele Morrone, Sergio Castellitto, Amra Mallassi and Tyler Conti. British boxer Chris Eubank Jr. and presenter Maya Jama will also appear in these new episodes. The full breakdown of their roles has not yet been announced.

A TV series spin-off from a Guy Ritchie film

The Gentlemen is a British crime-action comedy series created by Guy Ritchie and Matthew Read. Debuting on Netflix on March 7, 2024, it takes place within the universe of the film The Gentlemen, directed by Guy Ritchie and released in 2020, with Matthew McConaughey, Hugh Grant and Charlie Hunnam.

However, the series does not pick up the characters from the feature film. It follows Eddie Horniman, a British aristocrat who inherits the family estate after his father's death. He discovers that his lands are home to a major cannabis trafficking operation run by the Glass family.

At first determined to free his family from the organization, Eddie sets out to turn the criminals against their own game. His alliance with Susie Glass gradually reveals his knack for power, money, and strategy, until he becomes a fully-fledged player in the empire.

This serialized format lets Guy Ritchie expand his dive into British organized crime and the class tensions already explored in the film. The series is produced by Moonage Pictures, ITV Studios and Miramax Television for Netflix.

Season 2 of The Gentlemen will be available in full on Netflix on Thursday, September 3, 2026.
