Netflix ‘The Gentlemen’ Season 2 launch and renewal

Overview

Netflix and Stella Artois launched ‘The Gentlemen’s Serve’, a global marketing campaign to promote the second season of the series ‘The Gentlemen’. This multi-market collaboration, featuring Theo James and David Beckham, links the show’s aristocratic themes with the brand’s beer serving ritual. The campaign included a themed activation at the Marlborough Pub in London from September 3 to September 5, 2026.

The second season premiered on September 3, 2026, and quickly reached the top of global viewership rankings. The eight-episode narrative follows Eddie Horniman and Susie Glass as they expand their clandestine cannabis empire from the British countryside to Lake Maggiore, Italy, sparking conflicts with the Italian mafia and figures like Marco Moretti. Critics noted a tonal shift, describing the season as ‘more profound and darker’ as Eddie evolves from a reluctant aristocrat into a seasoned, cunning crime lord. The plot involves complex power struggles, including a marriage to Isabella that ends in tragedy and a betrayal involving Eddie’s brother, Freddy.

Following the season's success, Netflix has officially renewed the series for a third season with creator Guy Ritchie returning. The show’s popularity has also driven renewed interest in Ritchie’s 2020 film of the same name. While the series has maintained strong viewership—notably drawing 10.5 million viewers in the United Kingdom—production insiders have dismissed rumors regarding the casting of Meghan Markle, stating the project does not seek ‘provocative casting’ for promotional purposes.
