The Gentlemen, Netflix's spinoff series from the Guy Ritchie movie of the same name, is a big hit. The crime caper rocketed to number one in the streamer's TV charts and remained in the top 10 for four weeks with 7.8 million views.
If you enjoyed it – and if you're not then we recommend streaming these three great crime capers instead – you'll no doubt be asking the same question we are: will there be a The Gentlemen season 2?
The good news is that you won't need to send the boys round to have a word in order to make it happen... it's almost here.
The Gentlemen season 2 release date
The Gentlemen season 2 returns on September 3, even though initial reports suggested that we'd see it much earlier in 2026.
"We've done it," star Theo James told TechRadar while promoting action movie Fuze. "We've wrapped season 2, doing cuts at the moment and there are still tweaks to be done. But it will be coming out in the fall [US]."
It's likely that all eight episodes will be released in one go, though a release schedule has yet to be confirmed.
The Gentlemen season 2 trailer: is there one?
We're still waiting on a full trailer, but the first teaser trailer has now been released. I'd guess that we can expect the full trailer about four weeks before season 2's release.
The Gentlemen season 2 cast
Here's who will be returning for The Gentlemen season 2:
- Theo James as Eddie Halstead
- Kaya Scodelario as Susie Glass
- Daniel Ings as Freddy Halstead
- Ray Winstone as Bobby Glass
- Joely Richardson as Lady Sabrina
- Vinnie Jones as Geoff Seacombe
- Jasmine Blackborow as Charly
- Michael Vu as Jimmy Chang
- Harry Goodwins as Jack
- Ruby Sear as Gabrielle
- Pearce Quigley as Gospel John
- Giancarlo Esposito as Uncle Stan
They'll also be joined by the following new cast members:
- Hugh Bonneville
- Benedetta Porcaroli
- Michele Morrone
- Sergio Castellitto
- Amra Mallassi
- Tyler Conti
- Benjamin Clementine
On top of this, there are two more unexpected cast bookings who are not actors at all.
Boxer Chris Eubank Jr. has been cast in his acting debut in season 2, alongside British TV presenter Maya Jama, who is well known for hosting Love Island.
The Gentlemen season 2 plot
Here's what we know from the official synopsis:
"It’s been one year since Eddie and Susie joined forces to work together in Bobby’s 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."
James told us that new episodes will be "fun, and still funny. But it's also darker, goes a little wild."
The Gentlemen future seasons
It seems highly likely that we'll see multiple seasons. The show has done good numbers for Netflix, and it was initially conceived as a multi-series show rather than another movie so it seems likely.
Speaking to Digital Spy, Giancarlo Esposito, who plays Stanley Johnson in the show, says that while a third season hasn't been discussed "we have the possibility of going further, And I think the show does as well".
While Netflix hasn't announced a third season just yet, it's clearly thinking about it.
