Netflix’s latest crime comedy offering, The Gentlemen, promises to deliver a fresh take on a familiar story, courtesy of Guy Ritchie.
Serving as a spin-off to Ritchie’s 2019 film of the same name, this series is set to delve deeper into the criminal underworld, introducing audiences to a new cast of characters and capers. The series will star The White Lotus star Theo James and Skins actor Kaya Scodelario, among others.
With Ritchie at the helm, backed by a stellar cast, The Gentlemen is poised to become a hit for Netflix. Ritchie had spoken to Netflix about the series last November, “The world of The Gentlemen is a little bit of me. We’re looking forward to bringing fans back into that world, introducing new characters and their stories, and I am excited to be doing it with this extremely talented cast.”
So mark your calendars, gather your allies, and prepare to stream The Gentlemen this March. Here’s everything you need to know about The Gentlemen, from plot, cast, release date and more.
What is Netflix’s The Gentlemen about?
At the heart of The Gentlemen lies a tale of inheritance, power, and the cinematic charm of a life of crime. We follow the Duke of Halstead, Eddie Horniman (portrayed by James), a man unexpectedly thrust into the world of organised crime upon inheriting his father’s estate.
The official logline for the series reads: “We meet Eddie Horniman as he inherits his father’s sizable estate… only to discover it’s part of a weed empire. Moreover, a host of unsavoury elements of 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.”
