- Netflix set September 3 as the Season 2 premiere date for Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen and released a first-look teaser for the new season.
- The Gentlemen Season 2 picks up one year after Eddie (Theo James) and Susie (Kaya Scodelario) joined forces in Bobby's (Ray Winstone) criminal empire overseas, where Bobby's increasingly unsound decisions force them to choose between taking action or losing everything.
- Guy Ritchie created the series and writes alongside Matthew Read, co-directing with Eran Creevy; the show expands Ritchie's 2019 Miramax film of the same name into serialized form.
- The Season 2 cast expands internationally with Sergio Castellitto, Benedetta Porcaroli, and Michele Morrone joining returning players Theo James, Kaya Scodelario, Daniel Ings, Joely Richardson, Vinnie Jones, Hugh Bonneville, and Maya Jama.
- Miramax Television and Moonage Pictures (part of ITV Studios) produce The Gentlemen for Netflix, with Ritchie, Will Gould, Read, Frith Tiplady, and Simon Crawford Collins executive producing.
Why it matters: A September 3 premiere locks The Gentlemen into Netflix's late-summer window, banking that Ritchie-built crime-comedy will retain Season 1's audience while the expanded international cast — three Italian actors among the new additions — signals the overseas setting that Eddie and Susie now operate in, shifting the show's center of gravity away from the British estate of Season 1.
