Fans of a wildly popular TV show, recently released on Netflix, are eagerly anticipating news of a second season. However, there is one major obstacle standing in the way. In March of this year, the streaming platform premiered The Gentlemen, directed by the renowned Guy Ritchie and featuring an all-star cast including Theo James, Kaya Scodelario, Joely Richardson, Vinnie Jones, and Ray Winstone.
This action-packed comedy, a spin-off of the 2019 film of the same name, immediately captured audiences' attention, racking up a whopping 215 million viewing hours in its first two weeks. It even became the most-watched series across all platforms from March 14-20. And in its first four weeks, it reportedly gained 44 million views. With such impressive numbers, it's no wonder that Netflix executives are eager to continue the show's success with a second season.
However, there is a catch. They are hoping to have Guy Ritchie return as the director, as well as some of the original cast members. As an insider revealed to The Sun, "It's going to be quite a challenge getting the same actors back together, but Netflix chiefs are keen for a sequel." But securing Guy's involvement may prove difficult, as he already has several movie projects lined up for this year.
Despite these potential roadblocks, the success of the first season has convinced Netflix that a follow-up is worth pursuing. The Gentlemen, a film released five years ago, boasted a star-studded cast including Matthew McConaughey, Hugh Grant, Michelle Dockery, and Colin Farrell. In the TV spin-off, Vinnie Jones takes on the role of groundskeeper Geoffrey Seacombe, while Ray Winstone portrays cannabis empire head Bobby Glass.
The White Lotus star Theo, who plays Edward 'Eddie' Horniman in the series, recently shared his experience of working with Guy as the director. He described it as "a bit of an odyssey" and admitted that it can be challenging to keep up with Guy's creative process. "The first couple of days, it's a little bit of shock and awe," he told The Guardian.
For those who haven't yet watched The Gentlemen, it is currently available on Netflix.
