Netflix released the second season of “The Gentlemen” on September 3, 2026, bringing Guy Ritchie’s slick crime comedy back for eight new episodes. Theo James returns as Eddie Horniman, the army officer turned reluctant aristocrat who inherited his family’s estate — and the sprawling cannabis operation buried beneath it — at the close of the first season.
Kaya Scodelario is back as Susie Glass, the sharp, unflappable manager of the Glass drug empire, with Ray Winstone returning as her imprisoned father, Bobby Glass. Daniel Ings, Joely Richardson and Vinnie Jones also reprise their roles. Set roughly a year after the events of season one, the new run pushes Eddie deeper into the criminal underworld he tried to leave behind, testing how far he will go to protect his title, his estate and his family.
The season adds a wave of new faces. Hugh Bonneville, Michele Morrone, Benedetta Porcaroli, Sergio Castellitto, Benjamin Clementine and boxer Chris Eubank Jr. join the ensemble, alongside television presenter Maya Jama. Giancarlo Esposito and Jasmine Blackborow round out a cast that leans into the show’s trademark mix of aristocratic polish and underworld menace, with new rivals and shifting alliances raising the stakes for the Horniman name.
Created by Ritchie as a spin-off of his 2019 film of the same name, the series has been one of Netflix’s steadier hits since its 2024 debut, praised for its brisk pacing, sharp dialogue and ensemble chemistry. Ahead of the second season’s premiere, Netflix confirmed a third season, a sign of confidence in the franchise’s blend of dry humour, double-crosses and designer tailoring.
The return lands in a crowded autumn of high-profile streaming releases, but “The Gentlemen” has carved out a loyal following for its stylish, fast-talking take on organised crime. For Theo James and Kaya Scodelario, the new episodes further cement the partnership that has become the show’s central draw, and set up the already-ordered third season.
