British aristocracy has never been so messed up in this Guy Ritchie series.

Everything you need to know about 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.

Created by the King of gangster flicks Guy Ritchie, The Gentlemen launched in March 2024 with its initial eight-episode run.

It 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.

**WIll there be a series two of The Gentleman?**

Yes! Despite it being initially intended as a limited series, The Gentlemen season 2 was confirmed in August 2024, and began filming in May 2025.

What’s more: the business is going international.

In the official announcement, creator Guy Ritchie said: “I am delighted to return to set for season two of The Gentlemen. This chapter sees a deliberate expansion, both geographically and thematically, as we journey from the English countryside to the Italian lakes.

“Eddie and Susie find themselves navigating an increasingly volatile empire as they’re besieged on all fronts by an influx of enigmatic new players.

“The stakes are heightened, the power dynamics are more precarious, and I’m thrilled to be collaborating once again with this exceptional cast and crew.”

According to Netflix’s official website TUDUM, the show is planned to be released by the end of 2026.
