The Gentlemen season 3 is moving toward production, with Theo James saying it will be shooting pretty soon after the show was renewed for a third season. The timing matters because season 2 took more than two years to arrive after season 1, and that gap is the clearest benchmark for how fast the next run may move.
Theo James on DNA
“We have yes, but like this show, the DNA is still being built as we speak, even though we're going to shoot it pretty soon.” James said, adding: “But yeah, we know the trajectory that we're going to take our characters.” Those two lines give the clearest production signal yet: the order is in place, the creative shape is still being refined, and filming is being pushed forward rather than left to drift.
Netflix and the third season
The renewal for The Gentlemen season 3 gives Netflix a franchise it can keep moving without waiting for a fresh launch decision. Season 2 will be available to watch on Netflix from Thursday 3 September 2026, which means the platform is still building the audience base for the title while the next season is already being sketched out.
Season 2 also has a harder business reality behind it. It took more than two years to arrive after season 1 debuted, and it only started filming after more than a year had elapsed. That slow build is exactly why James’s “pretty soon” line lands as a useful production marker rather than a vague tease.
Eddie and Susie
Season 2 keeps Eddie and Susie expanding their cannabis empire, while ambition starts to pull Eddie down a darker path. The new run also brings in Benedetta Porcaroli, Hugh Bonneville and Maya Jama, and it digs further into Bobby Glass and Geoff Seacombe. For viewers, that means season 3 is not starting from zero; it is inheriting a world already loaded with moving parts.
Season 2 ended on a shocking cliffhanger, so the cleanest read is simple: if filming does start pretty soon, The Gentlemen season 3 looks more likely to arrive on a shorter timetable than the gap between the first two seasons. What James did not give was a start date, so the practical watchpoint now is whether the shoot begins before momentum from season 2 fades.
