Guy Ritchie’s brand of gangster action with witty dialogue and intricate plots took the world by storm in 2019 with the film “The Gentlemen.” In 2023, Netflix surprised fans with a series based on the film, continuing the story in a sprawling new format.
After a cliffhanger ending to season one, viewers are clamoring for news about a potential season two. If you are in a similar boat, waiting for more, be assured that we have all the answers we could manage to bring together.
We will take a closer peek into details about The Gentleman Season 2, its eventual release, and what’s in store.
When is The Gentleman Season 2 Releasing?
To be fair, we still don’t have any kind of confirmation or insights from Netflix just yet. The network hasn’t renewed the show as of now. The show performed well, reaching the top spot on Netflix charts and holding strong for weeks. Producer Marc Helwig revealed early discussions about a second season were already underway, with writers being approached and brainstorming sessions with Guy Ritchie himself taking place.
However, challenges exist. Scheduling conflicts with the busy cast, including Charlie Hunnam and Kaya Scodelario, could create delays. Despite this, Netflix seems keen on a sequel, considering the success of the first season.
We’d have to wait for the showrunners, creators and the network to somehow work things together to confirm an eventual renewal and release.
What can we expect from The Gentleman Season 2?
Season 1 ended with Mickey Pearson (Matthew McConaughey) seemingly exiting the drug trade, selling his marijuana empire to Ray’s (Charlie Hunnam) right-hand team, Eddie (Theo James) and Susie (Michelle Dockery). However, the audience is left with the lingering suspicion that Mickey may not be entirely out of the game. Meanwhile, Eddie and Susie, now in control, face the daunting task of navigating the treacherous world of London’s drug trade.
The young couple (Eddie and Susie) finds themselves thrust into the heart of a criminal empire. They’ll need to navigate a web of established gangs, maintain control over their new turf, and contend with potential threats from Mickey or other interested parties.
Did Mickey truly sell his empire, or is this all part of a larger, more intricate plan? Season two could delve into Mickey’s motivations and reveal his next steps, whether it’s a cunning comeback or a surprising alliance.
Season one unleashed a domino effect of violence and betrayal. The consequences of these actions are likely to ripple through the underworld, creating new conflicts and alliances.
With the success of the series, there’s potential to branch out and explore other corners of Guy Ritchie’s criminal world. New characters and storylines could be introduced, creating a richer and more expansive universe.
Who is returning to The Gentleman Season 2?
Pretty much every main character that appeared in the first season is expected to return in the second one too. So, you can expect the following cast members:
- Theo James as Eddie Halstead
- Kaya Scodelario as Susie Glass
- Daniel Ings as Freddy Halstead
- Vinnie Jones as Geoff Seacombe
- Joely Richardson as Lady Sabrina
