The Gentlemen is inspired by Guy Ritchie’s film of the same name

The Gentlemen Series 2 is now filming for Netflix, with Theo James and Kaya Scodelario returning to star in the eight-episode run.

Guy Ritchie, upon whose film the drama is based, is back in the director’s chair, calling the shots from scripts he co-wrote with Matthew Read, exploring the criminal underbelly of aristocratic Britain.

Moonage Pictures produces The Gentlemen for Netflix and Miramax Television. The executive producers are Ritchie; Will Gould, Read, and Frith Tiplady for Moonage Pictures; Marc Helwig for Miramax Television and Ivan Atkinson.

James reprises his role of Eddie Horniman with Scodelario as Susie Glass; Daniel Ings also returns for Series 2.

Scodelario told Tudum when the show first launched: “It’d be fun to see the business spread a bit. How do they take it to the next level? They’re very adamant about not getting into the chop game, so how do they then continue to build the empire? Where does that take them? How does the new structure of the business work practically?”
