Netflix is moving ahead with The Gentlemen season 2 and Hugh Bonneville among others has joined its cast. More details below!
It didn’t take long for Netflix to renew The Gentlemen, Guy Ritchie’s loose spin-off of his own film of the same name, for season 2 but there hasn’t been any news to share about the new season since.
Thankfully, Netflix has now announced that The Gentlemen season 2 is in production and new castmembers are joining the fun.
Hugh Bonneville, Benjamin Clementine, Benedetta Porcaroli, Michele Morrone, Sergio Castellito, Amra Mallassi, Tyler Conti and Maya Jama are all getting tangled up in the criminal activities of the Glass family. Considering how many people died in the first season, we doubt many of these new characters make it very far.
Theo James, Kaya Scodelario and Daniel Ings are all returning to their roles as are Ray Winstone, Giancarlo Esposito, Joely Richardson and Vinnie Jones.
Here’s a little synopsis for the upcoming season: 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…
“I am delighted to return to set for season two 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,” Ritchie said in a statement.
No word on when The Gentlemen season 2 might premiere on Netflix, but we’ll make sure to keep you in the loop.
