The criminal underbelly of Britain’s aristocracy is far from settled. Eddie Horniman (Theo James) and Susie Glass (Kaya Scodelario) thought their uneasy alliance had secured their place at the top of a massive weed empire, but the shadows of betrayal and unchecked power are closing in faster than ever. With Season 2 of Guy Ritchie’s stylish Netflix hit set to premiere on April 3, fans are bracing for an even darker, more explosive dive into the treacherous world where loyalty is a myth, trust is a luxury, and absolute control is the only currency that matters.
Picking up roughly a year after the bloody events of Season 1, Eddie and Susie are now deeply entrenched as co-owners in Bobby Glass’s sprawling operation. What began as a reluctant inheritance for Eddie—a former army captain thrust into the duke’s title and a secret cannabis farm beneath his family estate—has evolved into a full-blown criminal partnership. Susie, the sharp, sophisticated daughter of imprisoned kingpin Bobby, remains the brains behind the empire, navigating deals with ruthless precision while keeping her volatile father in check.
But cracks are appearing. Bobby’s decisions are growing increasingly erratic, raising questions about his grip on reality and the future of their enterprise. As Eddie and Susie push to expand overseas, they face mounting threats: rival gangs hungry for territory, old enemies resurfacing with scores to settle, and internal tensions that could tear their fragile alliance apart. Loyalty among the elite is scarce; in this world of manicured lawns hiding underground grow-ops, one wrong move means total ruin—or worse.
The show’s signature blend of dark humor, sharp dialogue, and over-the-top violence returns, amplified by higher stakes. Expect more intricate power plays, double-crosses, and moments of sheer audacity as characters maneuver through a landscape where aristocrats rub shoulders with gangsters. Theo James brings his brooding intensity to Eddie, a man who once resisted the criminal life but now embraces its thrill, while Kaya Scodelario’s Susie remains enigmatic and formidable—equal parts partner and potential threat.
Daniel Ings reprises his role as Freddy, Eddie’s chaotic brother whose debts and impulsive decisions continue to drag the family into danger. The ensemble cast promises fresh faces and returning villains, all orbiting the central question: Can Eddie and Susie maintain their empire, or will ambition consume them?
Guy Ritchie’s direction keeps the pace relentless, with stylish cinematography capturing the contrast between opulent estates and gritty underworld dealings. Season 1 hooked viewers with its clever twists and charismatic anti-heroes; Season 2 promises to escalate everything—more danger, deeper betrayals, and a clearer look at what it truly costs to rule from the shadows.
Mark your calendars for April 3 on Netflix. In The Gentlemen, the game never ends—it only gets deadlier. Will Eddie and Susie emerge stronger, or will the crown of the underworld claim new victims? One thing is certain: in this posh yet perilous world, power is everything, and survival is never guaranteed.
