Netflix greenlights third season of Guy Ritchie's "The Gentlemen"
Netflix has confirmed a third season of the crime drama "The Gentlemen," with creator Guy Ritchie returning as director and co-writer, while production is set to begin soon.
"The Gentlemen" has been officially greenlit for a third season, Variety reports. The eight-episode series, created by Guy Ritchie and starring Theo James and Kaya Scodelario, is entering pre-production, though scripts and additional casting have not yet been finalized. Ritchie, who also serves as executive producer, said, "The ambition of ‘The Gentlemen’ has accelerated, the world has expanded and the consequences carry weight. A third season felt inevitable, and I’m looking forward to pushing the boundaries of it further." Ritchie will direct the new season and co-write it with Matthew Read. Production is expected to start imminently. The announcement follows Netflix's recent renewals of several U.K. series, including "Black Mirror" Season 8 and "Legends" Season 2.
