The Gentlemen season 2: Eddie wants to conquer everything, but his alliance with Susie wavers

The first season had transformed an English aristocrat into a trafficking boss almost despite himself. One year later, Eddie Horniman has grown fond of power. The Gentlemen season 2 arrives on September 3, 2026, on Netflix, with broader ambition and an alliance that is starting to become costly.

The return of the series created by Guy Ritchie doesn’t start from scratch. Eddie (Theo James) has inherited the family estate and the cannabis empire hidden beneath his land. He is now working with Susie Glass (Kaya Scodelario), under the authority of Bobby Glass (Ray Winstone), his father who is as feared as he is unpredictable.

A release date set for September 3 on Netflix

Netflix has confirmed the release date for season 2: the new episodes will be available on Thursday, September 3, 2026. The platform has also unveiled a trailer that puts Eddie in front of a simple question: how far can he rise without losing control of his own kingdom?

The first season followed an heir who was mostly trying to save his family from trouble. The sequel shows a man who now thinks like a criminal leader. This change gives a clearer direction to his journey: Eddie no longer endures the rules of the game; he wants to rewrite them.

Eddie and Susie transport their empire to Italy

The setting expands significantly. The duo’s activities move from the cannabis farm hidden beneath Halstead to the villas by the Italian lakes. Eddie and Susie are trying to establish a new base there, far from England and the fragile balances of Bobby.

This expansion inevitably attracts attention. Season 2 introduces Marco Moretti, a powerful Italian crime boss played by Sergio Castellitto, as well as Cico Maldini, the fixer portrayed by Michele Morrone. The latter is tasked with helping Eddie and Susie navigate their new environment, but trust does not seem to be his forte.

The cast also welcomes Benedetta Porcaroli as Bella. Giancarlo Esposito joins the plot as Stanley Johnston, while Hugh Bonneville plays Lord Hawthorne. The series retains its main figures, with Harry Goodwins as Jack Glass and other members of the family entourage.

An alliance under pressure in season 2

The true driving force of this sequel remains the relationship between Eddie and Susie. They need each other to grow their empire, but their interests do not always align. Eddie aims for a higher position, while Susie has to deal with Bobby’s increasingly questionable decisions.

The trailer clearly plays on these fractures. It does not confirm a break between the two partners, but it shows that their understanding will be tested by money, territory, and Eddie’s ambition. In this world, a handshake can hold an empire up… or simply delay the shooting.

The shift from the English aristocracy to the Italian criminal networks gives The Gentlemen a new scale. It remains to be seen if Eddie can maintain his ducal elegance when every decision threatens to trigger a war. Answers will come starting September 3, exclusively on Netflix.
