The Gentlemen, a Netflix series spun off from the 2019 movie of the same name by director Guy Ritchie, has fans eagerly awaiting news on a potential season 2. The show, directed by Ritchie himself, stars Theo James as Eddie Horniman, a young man who unexpectedly inherits his father's cannabis empire. While the series has just premiered, the creative team is already looking ahead to the possibility of a second season.
In a recent interview, the executive producer of The Gentlemen, Marc Helwig, shared a cautiously optimistic update on the chances of a season 2. Helwig emphasized that the decision to move forward with another season will largely depend on the reception of the first season by audiences. However, he confirmed that discussions with Guy Ritchie have already begun regarding potential storylines and directions for a second season.
Despite the need for season 1 to perform well, early indicators suggest that The Gentlemen is off to a promising start. The show currently holds a respectable 74% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on critic reviews, with an audience score of 80%. These scores, coupled with the series' strong debut on Netflix's Top 10 TV shows chart, bode well for its future.
The Gentlemen's connection to the successful 2019 movie, which grossed $115 million at the box office, further enhances its appeal. The show has been praised for its intriguing characters and Theo James' charismatic portrayal of Eddie, adding to its potential for attracting viewers. With a recognizable director at the helm and a compelling storyline that promises more twists and turns, The Gentlemen seems poised for success.
While the fate of The Gentlemen season 2 ultimately hinges on audience response, the show's positive reviews and growing popularity suggest that fans can look forward to more adventures in Eddie's world of crime. As viewers eagerly await news of a renewal, the future looks bright for this captivating Netflix series.
