Netflix continues to bet big on the crime series The Gentlemen, developed under the guidance of Guy Ritchie. The streamer has released a full trailer for season two and, at the same time, confirmed that the story will continue with a third season. For fans, it’s a clear message: the stylish blend of aristocratic privilege, organized crime, and pitch-black humor still has plenty of road ahead.

Season Two Arrives at the Beginning of September

The new episodes premiere on September 3, and the early footage suggests the continuation will be more expansive than ever. This time, the plot won’t be confined to familiar British territory—it will also head to Italy. The shift in setting is meant to inject fresh energy into the series and open up more room for new conflicts, riskier moves, and sharper power plays.

Eddie Horniman Returns to Another Round of Dangerous Chaos

At the center of the story remains Eddie Horniman, once again played by Theo James. Returning alongside him are Kaya Scodelario as Susie Glass, Ray Winstone as Bobby Glass, Joely Richardson as Lady Sabrina, and Vinnie Jones as Geoff Seacombe. Viewers can also expect other familiar faces who helped define the distinctive tone of the first season.

Season two aims to build on what worked best last time: a world where high society collides with the criminal underworld. The difference now is scale—characters have a much wider playing field, and their decisions are likely to carry significantly heavier consequences.

Italy Becomes the New Playground for Crime and Ambition

Netflix is teasing a move from English country estates to the striking scenery of Italian lakes. That contrast—elegant backdrops paired with ruthless criminal maneuvering—is a signature of the series. But the new location isn’t just a visual refresh. It also signals rising ambition, greater danger, and higher stakes for everyone involved.

While season one expanded the universe introduced in Ritchie’s 2019 film, the new episodes are set to prove the formula can travel beyond Britain. Eddie’s plans appear to be growing—and with them, the chance that everything spirals out of control even more dramatically than before.

The Cast Expands With Familiar New Faces

Alongside the returning ensemble, season two adds a strong wave of newcomers, including Hugh Bonneville, Benjamin Clementine, Benedetta Porcaroli, Michele Morrone, Sergio Castellitto, Amra Mallassi, and Tyler Conti. The season also features British professional boxer Chris Eubank Jr. and TV presenter Maya Jama.

The expanded lineup suggests more storylines, new alliances, and fresh rivals. The show appears to be scaling up without abandoning what makes it click: bold characters and constant tension between power, loyalty, and betrayal.

Season Three Is Confirmed Already

Even before season two premieres, Netflix has officially announced that season three is in the works. Guy Ritchie is also set to return as director, a sign he intends to keep a firm creative grip on the project. According to his comments, the show’s ambitions are accelerating, the world is widening, and the fallout from the characters’ choices is only getting more serious.

The ambitions of The Gentlemen have risen, its world has expanded, and the consequences carry more weight. A third season felt inevitable to me, and I’m excited to see how far we can keep pushing the boundaries of this story.

Meghan Markle Rumors Ultimately Fizzled Out

Meghan Markle was also linked to the series in connection with season three, with reports suggesting she was being considered for a role. Later information indicated the idea is no longer on the table. It’s one of those production rumors that briefly grabs attention—only to never materialize.

Ritchie Continues His Crime-World Vision

Guy Ritchie created the series and co-writes it with Matthew Read. The project is produced for Netflix by Moonage Pictures (part of ITV Studios) and Miramax Television. Season one already proved that translating the film’s premise into a series can work—especially when it has room for character-driven plotting, layered schemes, and steadily escalating chaos.

For viewers, the key takeaway is simple: Eddie’s story doesn’t end with the upcoming episodes. Season two promises a broader canvas, a glamorous Italian backdrop, and a fresh wave of problems—while the confirmed third season ensures this restless, intricately tangled crime world will keep growing. Season two of The Gentlemen premieres on Netflix on September 3.
