Over four years after Guy Ritchie\u2019s film The Gentlemen<\/a> was released, a new spin-off series is arriving on Netflix<\/a>, telling a brand new story exploring the same themes and similar situations.<\/p>\n

The series follows Theo James\u2019s Eddie Horniman, a soldier who inherits his father\u2019s dukedom and sizeable country estate, but soon discovers it\u2019s part of a cannabis empire.<\/p>\n

The supporting cast for the series includes Kaya Scodelario, Daniel Ings, Giancarlo Esposito and Ray Winstone, as well as Vinnie Jones and Joely Richardson.<\/p>\n

Jones and Richardson spoke exclusively with RadioTimes.com<\/a> about how they both joined the show\u2019s cast, with frequent Ritchie collaborator Jones saying: \u201cMine was early. Guy text me and he said, \u2018What you up to?\u2019 He said, \u2018I might have something coming up for you,\u2019 which was quite a bit before.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd so then I just had to wait for the bits, you know, \u2018What is it?\u2019 You know, and he said, \u2018I\u2019ll tell you more later.\u2019 So that\u2019s how I was involved from kind of day one, I think as soon as he knew it was happening. I kind of got a text, yeah.\u201d<\/p>\n
