The Gentlemen season 2 follows Eddie Horniman’s criminal escalation

The second season of the Netflix series ‘The Gentlemen’ continues the story of Edward ‘Eddie’ Horniman, the 13th Duke of Halstead, as he navigates his role as a reluctant crime boss. The narrative follows Eddie’s increasing ambitions, including his involvement in international drug deals with Italian crime boss Marco Moretti and his desire to become a hereditary peer to influence potential marijuana decriminalization legislation.

Production elements remain a focal point, specifically the show’s polished aesthetic. Costume designer Loulou Bontemps worked to evolve the wardrobe to reflect the characters' development, using 90s references and sharp tailoring to establish Eddie’s transition into the British aristocracy. While the season maintains Guy Ritchie’s signature style—featuring motorcycle chases, criminal schemes, and grand country estates—critics have noted a potential lack of momentum compared to the first season.
