Read on for the everything you need to know about The Gentlemen on Netflix.
When will The Gentlemen be released on Netflix?
We don’t have an exact release date for The Gentlemen on Netflix yet, but we do know that it will be at some point in March 2024.
The series was first announced as being in development in late 2020, with it being described as a full-circle moment, as Ritchie had initially pitched the plot of The Gentlemen film as a TV show.
Miramax head of worldwide television Marc Helwig said: “Miramax Television is thrilled to break new creative ground in our partnership with Guy Ritchie on The Gentlemen.
“One of the most distinctive and prolific filmmakers working today and someone whose creativity I have admired for many years, we couldn’t be more excited to bring the cinematic journey of The Gentlemen forth into the realm of global premium television.”
What is The Gentlemen about?
The Gentlemen is set in the same universe as Guy Ritchie’s 2019 crime film of the same name, but it features a different cast and tells a different story.
The official synopsis for the series says: “The Gentlemen sees Eddie Horniman (Theo James) unexpectedly inherit his father’s sizeable country estate – only to discover it’s part of a cannabis empire. Moreover, a host of unsavoury characters from Britain’s criminal underworld want a piece of the operation.
“Determined to extricate his family from their clutches, Eddie tries to play the gangsters at their own game. However, as he gets sucked into the world of criminality, he begins to find a taste for it.”
The Gentlemen cast – Will any of the film’s stars return?
The series is set in the world of Guy Ritchie’s film The Gentlemen, but it is not expected to star any of the original characters, so don’t be on the lookout for Matthew McConaughey or Hugh Grant at any point.
Instead, the cast will be led by Theo James and Kaya Scodelario, while Ray Winstone, Daniel Ings, Joely Richardson, Vinnie Jones, Giancarlo Esposito, Max Beesley and Peter Serafinowicz are amongst those making up the supporting cast.
Winstone’s involvement was only announced in January 2024, with the actor playing Bobby Glass, a career criminal from the East End of London who founded an industrial cannabis empire, and the father of Scodelario’s character.
