Netflix has renewed Guy Ritchie’s Gentleman series for a second season.
The series is based off Ritchie’s 2019 film of the same name and takes place within its continuity. The series sees Theo James as Eddie Horniman, the son of an English lord who inherits their land after his father’s death and discovers they have been leasing part of the land to a group of criminals growing marijuana on their property. He becomes entangled in their world and finds himself quickly adaptable to their way of life.
Ritchie will return to direct the second season alongside his co-writer Mathew Read. Netflix made the announcement with a creative billboard as well as on X/Twitter.
The Gentleman premiered in March and became a hit on the streaming service, remaining in the top 10 most watched programs on Netflix for several weeks. As of now, James is the only actor officially signed on to return, but it can be assumed many others will reprise their roles now that season two is officially greenlit.
