Early Renewal and Season 2 Trailer
Netflix has officially ordered a third season of 'The Gentlemen' just days before the second season debuts globally on September 3. The announcement came alongside the release of the first full-length trailer for Season 2. The third season will consist of eight episodes, with creator Guy Ritchie returning as writer, director, and executive producer, co-writing with Matthew Read.[S1][S2]
Guy Ritchie is thrilled about the third season renewal of 'The Gentlemen', a Netflix and Miramax TV series based on his 2020 movie. He praises the show's increasing ambition and expanded world, and is eager to explore new creative frontiers. The series, produced by Moonage Pictures, has been a success since its March 2024 premiere, and Ritchie's involvement ensures a consistent vision for the upcoming season.[S1][S5]
Season 2 Story and New Cast
Theo James and Kaya Scodelario reprise their roles as Eddie Horniman and Susie Glass in season 2 of 'The Gentlemen', which jumps forward a year. Their criminal activities now span across Italy, involving the Italian mafia, as they continue to build their empire. Eddie's growing influence in the criminal underworld mirrors his rising status among the British elite, leading him to encounter a new aristocratic character portrayed by Hugh Bonneville.[S1][S2]
The new season features returning cast members including Ray Winstone, Joely Richardson, Daniel Ings, Jasmine Blackborow, Vinnie Jones, and Giancarlo Esposito. Newcomers include Benjamin Clementine, Benedetta Porcaroli, Michele Morrone, Sergio Castellitto, Amra Mallassi, Tyler Conti, boxer Chris Eubank Jr., and TV host Maya Jama.[S1][S6]
Meghan Markle Casting Rumors
Amidst the buzz surrounding 'The Gentlemen' Season 3, Meghan Markle's name emerged as a potential cast member. Deadline suggested she was in the running for a prominent role in a UK-based series. However, Tina Brown's recent report reveals that the idea of Markle's involvement has been scrapped due to significant opposition in the UK. Netflix has chosen not to comment on this development.[S2][S4]
The renewal announcement came earlier than expected, possibly to counter the speculation. Production on Season 3 is scheduled to begin later this year, though plot details remain under wraps. The early renewal is part of a wave of Netflix UK renewals, including 'Black Mirror' Season 8 and 'Supacell' Season 2.[S2][S4]
