In a riveting expansion of his 2019 film “The Gentlemen,” filmmaker Guy Ritchie is set to unveil a gripping Netflix series this March. Starring Theo James as Eddie Horniman, the series promises a fresh take on the criminal underworld, blending wit and violence characteristic of Ritchie’s distinct style.
Ray Winstone, known for his roles in “The Departed” and “Black Widow,” joins the ensemble cast as Bobby Glass, a London-based career criminal who has cultivated an industrial cannabis empire. The narrative unfolds as Eddie Horniman inherits his father’s country estate, only to discover its clandestine connection to a sprawling cannabis enterprise coveted by unsavory characters.
Ritchie, the creative force behind the series, serves as the creator, co-writer, and executive producer, also directing the first two episodes. The show boasts an impressive cast, including Kaya Scodelario, Giancarlo Esposito, Vinnie Jones, Daniel Ings, Joely Richardson, and more.
The first teaser trailer provides an enticing glimpse into the world of “The Gentlemen,” assuring viewers of a riveting storyline, intriguing characters, and the signature blend of humor and action that Ritchie is renowned for. The eight-episode season is poised to deliver a compelling narrative set against the backdrop of a criminal empire.
While the series does not feature the original characters from the 2019 film, it promises to capture the essence of Ritchie’s cinematic universe. As Eddie Horniman navigates the treacherous paths of criminality to safeguard his inheritance, viewers can anticipate an immersive experience that intertwines with the legacy of Ritchie’s earlier work.
