Netflix’s The Gentlemen, based on Guy Ritchie’s 2019 film, is a sharp, high-energy black-comedy crime drama powered by snappy dialogue and a stylish ensemble, and after two acclaimed seasons it’s already renewed for a third.
Season 2 of Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen on Netflix drew about 3 million UK viewers in the first week, roughly 15% below Season 1’s debut, with Barb data marking the seven‑day tally. Netflix’s count shows 6.7 million streams in the first four days, highlighting a difference between Barb’s viewer metric and Netflix’s streaming metric. Despite the drop and Meghan Markle publicity around the show, Netflix has renewed The Gentlemen for a third season, with Theo James returning as Eddie Horniman in a story about a country estate tied to a cannabis empire.
A Netflix UK & Ireland post featuring a clip from The Gentlemen Season 2 sparked a MAGA-fueled backlash, with influencers claiming it mocked Charlie Kirk’s assassination, despite the scene showing Eddie marrying a countess and containing no assassination references.

The clip is part of Season 2, which is currently streaming.
Theo James discusses Eddie Horniman’s arc in The Gentlemen Season 2, detailing his transformation from reluctant aristocrat to brutal crime boss, Bella's death, Freddy’s beheading, and Eddie’s moral descent.

James notes the team aims to keep momentum with tighter production timelines between seasons and confirms ongoing development for the next chapter.

Season 2 of The Gentlemen tightens the grip on its brutal underworld as Theo James’s Eddie becomes a darker, more calculating gangster, expanding the Glass cannabis empire beyond the UK and courting international power plays, with Episode 4 signaling a turning point toward a Corleone‑style rise—gritty, stylish and engrossing on Netflix.

Meghan Markle is reportedly in talks to return to scripted acting, potentially joining Netflix's The Gentlemen, marking a more significant comeback after years of reinventions since stepping back from royal life. Experts say the move could anchor her identity beyond royal life if she lands a standout script and disappears into a character rather than a Meghan-centric narrative; however, talks are in early stages with no deal yet, and past ventures like Netflix's With Love and other projects have had mixed results.
Netflix chief Manda Levin cryptically said 'all bets are off' when asked about Meghan Markle potentially joining Season 3 of Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen at the Edinburgh TV Festival; Netflix has renewed The Gentlemen for a third season, but Markle’s exact role remains unconfirmed as she weighs entertainment inquiries amid a move back to the UK, with Netflix previously ending its partnership on her other projects.
Netflix has given a cryptic, non-committal response to Meghan Markle’s rumored return to acting in Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen, telling reporters at Edinburgh’s TV Festival that 'All bets are off' as no third season has been officially greenlit; the Duchess’s potential comeback would be her first acting role since 2017, and while reports linked her to the show, there is no confirmation and she has recently moved back to the UK with her family.
Netflix did not deny Meghan Markle’s potential return to acting in The Gentlemen Season 3, with discussions reportedly in the early stages and no deal confirmed; a high-profile casting would tee up significant attention for the Guy Ritchie series, especially given Markle’s existing Netflix-first deal with her husband Prince Harry.
