Summary

  • Season 3 of “The Gentlemen” has been officially greenlit at Netflix with eight episodes, and the new run is already in pre-production ahead of an imminent shoot.
  • Guy Ritchie said the series’ expanded world and heavier consequences made a third season “inevitable”; he will return to direct and co-write with Matthew Read.
  • No Season 3 scripts have been finalized and no new casting is set, despite rumors Meghan Markle could join.
  • Netflix also dropped the first full trailer for Season 2, which premieres Sept. 3 and follows Eddie and Susie as they expand the business into Italy.
  • The renewal adds “The Gentlemen” to a broader wave of returning Netflix U.K. shows, including “Black Mirror” Season 8 and “Legends” Season 2.
