Guy Ritchie made quite a splash with his star-studded action comedy The Gentlemen, and he’s getting ready to revisit this universe. The first trailer for Netflix’s spin-off series of the same name is here, and it’s bringing back the swagger that made us fall in love with the original film in the first place.
The Gentlemen will be led by Theo James (The White Lotus), in the role of the Duke of Halstead, Eddie Horniman. He finds himself entangled with shady characters from Britain’s criminal underworld after inheriting his father’s sizeable country estate, only to learn that his fortune wasn’t earned through noble means.
Guy Ritchie developed this series for Netflix and directed its first two episodes, in addition to serving as one of its executive producers.
“The world of The Gentlemen is a little bit of me. We’re looking forward to bringing fans back into that world, introducing new characters and their stories, and I am excited to be doing it with this extremely talented cast,” said Ritchie when the project was first announced.
In addition to James, The Gentlemen will also star Kaya Scodelario (Skins), Daniel Ings (Lovesick), Joely Richardson (The Sandman), Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), Peter Serafinowicz (John Wick: Chapter 2), Vinnie Jones (Law & Order: Organized Crime), and Brian Cox (Succession). It will premiere on Netflix sometime this spring.
