The Gentlemen

The Gentlemen follows Edward ‘Eddie’ Horniman, a former Army Captain of nobility who discovers that his father, the Duke of Halstead, has left him his 15,000-acre estate and his title upon his death.

This comes at a particular annoyance to his coke-addicted older brother, Freddy, who as the eldest son believed the inheritance was his birthright.

On top of that, the title has no practical value, with his enormous estate falling into disrepair – and it turns out it’s also home of a weed-growing empire run by the smart-mouthed Susie Glass.

Getting a cut of the profits for allowing the business to continue, soon Eddie finds himself working on the wrong side of the law in order to get the estate back on its feet, while also avoiding the shady figures in his brother’s life whom he owes money to.

It doesn’t take long for the knives and guns to come out as Eddie desperately tries to restore order in his life.

The Gentlemen is set within the world of the 2019 movie of the same name starring Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam and Colin Farrell, though none of their characters have yet made an appearance.

Created by the King of gangster flicks Guy Ritchie, The Gentlemen launched in March 2024 with its initial eight-episode run, and went straight to the top of Netflix’s most-watched list.

The Gentlemen season 2 was quickly confirmed, and launched in September 2026.

Yes! Before season 2 dropped in September 2026, Netflix confirmed they had already given the green light for season 3 to go ahead.

Making the announcement in August 2026, creator, writer, director and executive producer Guy Ritchie said in a statement: “The ambition of The Gentlemen has accelerated, the world has expanded and the consequences carry weight.

“A third season felt inevitable, and I’m looking forward to pushing the boundaries of it further.”

Ritchie will return as director, though a release date is not yet known.
