Guy Ritchie is gearing up for the release of the second season of The Gentlemen, which is set to premiere in fall 2026. This follows the confirmation of the season by Netflix in August 2024, after the successful debut of the first season, which boasted a commendable 75% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Production for season 2 commenced in spring 2025 and wrapped up in October 2025. Theo James, one of the series’ stars, confirmed that fans can expect the new season to be released later this year. “We’ve done it, we’ve wrapped season 2. Doing a cut at the moment. There’s still tweaks to be done but it will be in the fall, coming out. It’s fun. It’s still funny, but it’s darker. Goes a little wild,” he stated, hinting at a shift in tone for the series.

Ritchie, who returns as both episode director and co-writer, has indicated that the narrative will expand both geographically and thematically, moving from the English countryside to the scenic Italian lakes. This shift promises to bring a fresh perspective to the series, which is a spin-off of Ritchie’s 2019 film The Gentlemen. The film itself was a commercial success, grossing over $115 million against a budget of just $22 million.

New cast members joining the ensemble for season 2 include notable names such as Hugh Bonneville, Benjamin Clementine, and Chris Eubank Jr., adding to the already impressive lineup. Ritchie expressed his excitement about the new season, stating, “I am delighted to return to set for Season 2 of The Gentlemen.” He further elaborated on the heightened stakes and complex power dynamics that will characterize the upcoming episodes, saying, “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.”

The first season of The Gentlemen premiered in 2024 and quickly captured the audience’s attention, leading to the swift confirmation of a second season. Ritchie’s unique storytelling style, characterized by sharp dialogue and intricate plots, has garnered a loyal following, making the anticipation for season 2 palpable.

In addition to The Gentlemen, Ritchie has been busy with other projects, including the premiere of his new series Young Sherlock, which consists of 8 episodes. Furthermore, his upcoming action-adventure thriller, In The Grey, is set to premiere on May 15, 2026, showcasing Ritchie’s versatility as a filmmaker.

As the release date for season 2 approaches, fans and critics alike are eager to see how Ritchie will navigate the darker themes and expanded narrative. With a talented cast and a proven director at the helm, expectations are high. Details remain unconfirmed, but the buzz surrounding the series continues to grow.
