Returning Cast and Plot Details
Theo James, who plays Eddie Horniman, will be back as a central character alongside Kaya Scodelario’s Susie Glass. According to previous reports, the new season will take place one year after the events of Season 1, with Eddie and Susie now working together in Bobby’s criminal empire overseas. The official synopsis hints at a more complex and dramatic storyline, stating that “Eddie and Susie must decide whether to take action or risk losing it all.” James himself has hinted at the show’s evolution, mentioning that he and Guy Ritchie aimed to make the second season both bigger and darker than its predecessor.

In addition to “The Gentlemen,” fans of Guy Ritchie’s work can look forward to another crime drama series. “MobLand” is also getting a second season, starring Pierce Brosnan, Tom Hardy, and Helen Mirren. The first season was released earlier this year and was well-received by audiences, prompting Netflix to quickly greenlight the continuation. Joanne Froggatt, one of the stars from the first season, recently revealed that production for Season 2 is set to begin in late October.
