The first glimpses have arrived from the filming of the series The Gentlemen, a fresh take from director Guy Ritchie. This new project serves as a spin-off of the 2019 crime comedy bearing the same name. In the original film, the central figure was a drug lord who chose to walk away from the empire he built, and the series shifts the spotlight to new terrain while keeping the same gritty energy that fans expect.
Set to follow the journey of a younger protagonist, the show centers on Eddie Halstead, a man whose vast inheritance unexpectedly threads back to the shadowy world of Mickey Pearson’s former operations. The newly released stills feature Theo James portraying Eddie and Kaya Scodelario—the latter familiar to fans from the teen drama Skins—as part of the ensemble, signaling a stylish escalation of the franchise’s tone and stakes.
Joining the cast are veteran performers Vinnie Jones and Giancarlo Esposito, along with Daniel Ings and Peter Serafinowicz, whose presence hints at a mix of muscle, wit, and sharp, globe-trotting intrigue typical of Ritchie’s storytelling style.
In terms of creative leadership, Guy Ritchie is said to have collaborated with Matthew Read on the first episode, bringing Read’s experience from acclaimed crime dramas to the table. Ritchie is also expected to direct the initial two installments himself, underscoring the project’s signature approach and his hands-on role in shaping the series’ voice from the outset.
The Gentlemen will stream on Netflix, a platform well known for hosting visually stylish crime dramas. Although an exact premiere date remains unconfirmed, anticipation is high among fans who expect the show to carry forward the momentum of the original film while expanding its narrative universe.
