Netflix has set September 3 for the Season 2 premiere of Guy Ritchie‘s The Gentlemen. The streamer also released a first-look teaser which you can see above.
Set in the world of Ritchie’s 2019 Miramax film of the same name, the series’ first season centered on Eddie Horniman (James) who unexpectedly inherits his father’s sizeable country estate – only to discover it’s part of a cannabis empire. Moreover, a host of unsavory characters from Britain’s criminal underworld want a piece of the operation. Determined to extricate his family from their clutches, Eddie tries to play the gangsters at their own game. However, as he gets sucked into the world of criminality, he begins to find a taste for it, with an unexpected ally found in the sophisticated yet ruthless Susie Glass (Scodelario.)
In Season 2, it’s been one year since Eddie (James) and Susie (Scodelario) joined forces to work together in Bobby’s (Ray Winstone) criminal empire overseas. As they drive to expand their enterprise, the decisions Bobby is making seem to be increasingly unsound. Now Eddie and Susie must decide whether to take action or risk losing it all, but unfettered ambition never ends well.
