The Gentlemen Season 2 premieres September 3, 2026, only on Netflix. The new season follows Eddie Horniman and Susie Glass as they take Bobby Glass’s criminal operation into Italy, and Netflix has already confirmed a third season.
The series is Guy Ritchie’s television follow-up to his 2019 crime movie, but it tells a separate story with new characters. Theo James plays Eddie, the reluctant duke who inherited a cannabis empire in Season 1, while Kaya Scodelario plays Susie, the sharp operator who knows how the business actually works.
When does The Gentlemen Season 2 come out?
All eight episodes arrive on Netflix on September 3. Netflix has not announced a weekly rollout, so viewers should expect the season to be available as a full drop unless the service changes its release plan. The date puts the show directly into the early-fall conversation, after a long gap from the first season’s March 2024 launch.
Season 3 is not a rumor. Netflix announced the renewal alongside the Season 2 trailer, with Guy Ritchie returning as creator and director. The streamer has not given a production schedule, episode count, or release window for the third season, so the renewal confirms the show’s future without telling us when Eddie will be back.
What happens in Season 2?
A year has passed since Eddie and Susie joined forces with Bobby’s empire. Eddie is no longer trying to escape the family business; he wants to make it larger. The trailer moves the operation from the family estate to the lakeside villas of Italy, where the pair build a foothold while trying not to attract the wrong kind of attention.
Bobby’s decisions are becoming harder to defend, and the new season puts Eddie and Susie in the uncomfortable position of protecting a business that may be outgrowing its original boss. The trailer also hints at an argument neither character can avoid: Eddie wants more power, while Susie has to decide whether his ambition is an asset or a liability.
Italy brings a new group of rivals. Sergio Castellitto plays Marco Moretti, an established crime boss described by Netflix as ruthless and elegant. Michele Morrone plays Cico Maldini, a fixer who is supposed to help the operation move through Italy. Neither man is presented as a simple replacement for Bobby; they give Eddie and Susie a different set of rules to survive.
Who is in The Gentlemen Season 2 cast?
Theo James, Kaya Scodelario, Ray Winstone, Daniel Ings, Joely Richardson, Vinnie Jones, Jasmine Blackborow, Michael Vu, Harry Goodwins, Ruby Sear, Pearce Quigley, and Giancarlo Esposito are returning. Esposito’s Stanley Johnston is one of the Season 1 characters positioned to complicate Eddie’s rise.
New cast members include Hugh Bonneville, Benjamin Clementine, Benedetta Porcaroli, Amra Mallassi, Tyler Conti, professional boxer Chris Eubank Jr., and broadcaster Maya Jama. Porcaroli plays Bella, one of the people Eddie meets around the Italian operation, while Jama plays Aisha.
Guy Ritchie remains closely involved, with Matthew Read as lead writer and executive producer. Ritchie, Eran Creevy, and Nick Rowland direct the new episodes. The creative team is keeping the show’s mix of class comedy, crime plotting, and sudden violence in place, even as the setting changes.
What does the Season 3 renewal mean?
It gives The Gentlemen a longer runway than many Netflix dramas receive. The show spent 10 weeks on Netflix’s global English-language Top 10 after Season 1, and the early renewal suggests the streamer still sees the series as one of its reliable returning crime titles. It does not guarantee that every Season 2 storyline will end cleanly or that the third season will arrive soon.
The renewal also lets Season 2 play with bigger consequences. Eddie and Susie do not have to solve every problem before the credits roll if the writers want to carry rivalries, family conflicts, or the question of Eddie’s limits into another season. For now, the immediate story is whether their Italy expansion strengthens the partnership or finally breaks it.
Why the Italy move matters
The first season worked because Eddie’s inherited title and the criminal business kept colliding in the same rooms. Italy gives the show more distance between those worlds, which makes Eddie’s choices harder to hide and gives Susie new relationships to manage. It also lets the series show whether the operation can travel without losing the odd mix of manners and menace that made Season 1 stand out.
The Gentlemen Season 2 arrives on Netflix September 3. Season 3 is confirmed, but Netflix has not announced its release date.
