Despite being left off ofNetflix’s upcoming 2025 slateof movies and television shows, Guy Ritchie’s award-winningThe Gentlemenspin-off is set to return to the streamer with Season 2. Boasting a fresh Rotten Tomatoes score from both audiences and critics alike,The Gentlemenwas a worthy follow-up to the beloved original film of the same name, featuring a new cast and storyline that saw James Bond favorite Theo James front and center. With another season confirmed,The Gentlemenwill be filming sooner than expected, but fans won’t be having as much “fun” the second time around.
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter,The MonkeystarTheo Jameswas asked about the upcoming season ofThe Gentlemen. The actor confirmed that new episodes are set to film during this spring, while also teasing a different tone for Season 2. The first season was a fun, chaos-filled follow-up that captured the tone of the original film, but it seems Ritchie will be going a different route now. James saysThe Gentlemenwill return with a “bigger and darker” season, revealing the intention was to evolve the show to keep things fresh.
“We start season two ofTheGentlemen[in the spring], which is bigger and darker than season one. I really wanted to — and so did [creator] Guy [Ritchie] — make sure that we evolve the show, and that is the intention. As fun as the first season was, if you do the exact same thing again, it may not be as fun, essentially.”

IfThe Gentlemencompletes filming by the start of the summer, there is a chance that it could make its way onto Netflix before the end of the year. However, fans should probably set their expectations for an early 2026 release window. Ritchie does not take any breaks as a filmmaker, and it seems he won’t be stopping anytime soon as he moves on from hisIndiana Jones-esque adventure filmstarring John Krasinski,Fountain of Youth, and his upcoming action-thrillerIn the Grey, featuring Henry Cavill, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Eiza González.
