“The Gentlemen” Season 2 Arrives Thursday as Eddie’s Empire Expands

Theo James as Eddie Horniman and Giancarlo Esposito as Stanley Johnston walk through a stone building.

“The Gentlemen” Season 2 reaches Netflix on Thursday, September 3, bringing Theo James and Kaya Scodelario back into a criminal partnership that is getting bigger—and more dangerous. As premiere week begins, the official trailer offers a clear setup: Eddie Horniman and Susie Glass want to expand, but Bobby Glass is standing in their way.

Netflix’s preview places the new season one year after Eddie and Susie joined forces. Their ambitions now extend to Italy, and the question is no longer whether Eddie can survive the business he inherited. It is how much control he wants, and what pursuing it will do to the alliances that helped him get this far.

James returns as Eddie, with Scodelario as Susie and Ray Winstone as Bobby. Giancarlo Esposito is also back as Stanley Johnston, giving fans of the actor another reason to watch this particular power struggle. The returning ensemble includes Daniel Ings, Joely Richardson, and Vinnie Jones; Hugh Bonneville and Benjamin Clementine are among the new additions.

The trailer frames Eddie and Susie’s next decision as a choice between following Bobby’s lead and taking their own path. That is an effective hook for the return: the pair may be business partners, but shared ambition does not automatically mean shared priorities. The appeal is watching those loyalties come under pressure, not assuming the partnership is secure.

Netflix has already confirmed Season 3, announcing the renewal before the second season’s premiere. Guy Ritchie remains the series’ creator. The early commitment means Thursday’s arrival is not being presented as a final chapter, although Netflix’s announcement does not give a release date for the third season.

This is a scripted crime series, not the feature film of the same name. Netflix lists the show as TV-MA. If you are catching up, start with the existing first season; the new trailer below is a preview, not a substitute for the relationships and betrayals that established Eddie’s world.
