The Netflix series of The Gentlemen offers another slice of the world seen in Ritchie’s 2020 movie of the same name. 

Director Guy Ritchie loves his gangsters, doesn’t he? While he usually operates on the big screen, the director has pivoted towards streaming for his latest project.

Partnering with Netflix, he’s serving up an eight-part sequel series to his 2019 movie The Gentlemen. The television show, which bears the same name, features all-new characters but takes place in that same world.

Theo James stars as the Duke of Halstead, Eddie Horniman, the estranged son of an English aristocrat who becomes embroiled in criminality when he tangles with the industrial East End cannabis empire of career criminal Bobby Glass (Ray Winstone).

Meanwhile, Kaya Scodelario stars as Susie Glass, Bobby’s ruthless daughter who handles the day-to-day business of his operation.

The wider cast includes Giancarlo Esposito, Daniel Ings, Joely Richardson and Peter Serafinowicz.

Plus, Chanel Cresswell, Michael Vu, Max Beesley, Jasmine Blackborow, Harry Goodwins, Dar Salim, Pearce Quigley, Ruby Sear and there’s a role for long-time Ritchie collaborator Vinnie Jones too.

Guy Ritchie said:

“The world of The Gentlemen is a little bit of me. We’re looking forward to bringing fans back into that world, introducing new characters and their stories, and I am excited to be doing it with this extremely talented cast.”

All eight episodes of The Gentlemen land on Netflix in March 2024.
