The Gentleman season 2 will premiere on Netflix on September 3, 2026, with eight new episodes. Theo James and Kaya Scodelario are back in the lead roles, and the new run moves the story a year ahead as Eddie Horniman and Susie Glass try to widen their operation beyond the English countryside.
Eight episodes, each running roughly 60 minutes, give the series enough room to treat the move abroad as a business expansion rather than a quick detour. The show debuted on Netflix on March 7, 2024, so the second season arrives after a long enough gap to reset the board without breaking the continuity that made the first run work.
Guy Ritchie and Matthew Read
Guy Ritchie returns as director, co-writer, and executive producer, with Matthew Read sharing writing duties and Eran Creevy also behind the camera. That combination keeps the series inside the same creative lane while pushing it into new territory, since the second season largely leaves the English countryside behind for the Italian lakes.
The setup is still built around Eddie Horniman and Susie Glass, but the expansion plan is under pressure from Bobby Glass’s increasingly unpredictable moves. Ray Winstone returns as Bobby, which keeps the original power structure in play even as the operation stretches abroad.

The season also brings back Daniel Ings as Freddy, while Hugh Bonneville, Benjamin Clementine, Benedetta Porcaroli, Michele Morrone, Sergio Castellitto, Amra Mallassi, Tyler Conti, Chris Eubank Jr. and Maya Jama join the new episodes. The full breakdown of those roles has not yet been announced, so the immediate takeaway is less about character labels than about how broad the cast net has become around the central pair.
For viewers, the practical result is simple: the next chapter arrives as a complete eight-episode drop on September 3, 2026, with Theo James and Kaya Scodelario carrying the story while Bobby Glass threatens to complicate the plan. That is the version to watch for — a cleaner international rollout on paper, and a less stable empire underneath it.
