Forget MobLand, Guy Ritchie’s Netflix Crime Thriller Officially Confirms Season 3

10 hours ago 7

Netflix is not waiting to see how The Gentlemen Season 2 performs. On August 24, the streamer confirmed that the show has been renewed for a third season. The announcement arrived alongside the full Season 2 trailer, and Guy Ritchie sounded like a man with plenty left in the tank.

He said the show’s ambition has accelerated, its world has expanded, and the consequences now carry real weight, before adding that “a third season felt inevitable, and I’m looking forward to pushing the boundaries” further (via Tudum).

The Gentlemen Season 3 will run eight episodes, matching the first two. Ritchie returns as director, writer, and executive producer, co-writing once again with Matthew Read. Netflix has not set a release date or announced casting, but the show is already in pre-production, with cameras expected to roll before the end of the year.

The Gentlemen Season 3 Renewal Comes Ahead of Season 2 Premiere

The Gentlemen Season 3 announcement came just nine days before Season 2 even premieres. Normally Netflix waits several weeks after a premiere, watches the figures, then decides. Moving early hands Guy Ritchie’s team a certainty about the show.

The renewal matters given where Season 2 is heading. A year has passed since Theo James‘s Eddie threw in with the Glass family, and he has developed a taste for the work. The estate is no longer enough. Netflix’s logline sets it up plainly (via Variety):

It’s been one year since Eddie and Susie joined forces to work together in Bobby’s criminal empire overseas. As they drive to expand their enterprise, the decisions Bobby is making seem to be increasingly unsound. Now Eddie and Susie must decide whether to take action or risk losing it all, but unfettered ambition never ends well…

That is a setup with obvious runway. A power struggle inside the Glass family, a foothold in Europe, and new enemies like Sergio Castellitto’s Marco Moretti all point toward a bigger third season.

As for the Meghan Markle rumors, the picture has shifted fast. Deadline reported on Friday that she was in early talks for a role. By the weekend, journalist Tina Brown reported that the deal had collapsed under public backlash. Netflix has not commented on the reports.

Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen Returns Alongside MobLand in September

This September belongs to Guy Ritchie in the streaming world. The Gentlemen Season 2 arrives on Netflix on September 3, and MobLand Season 2 follows on Paramount+ on September 18. The two shows share a similar crime DNA but not much else.

While the Netflix show is a single drop, Tom Hardy’s show will run for 10 episodes, released weekly through to a November 20 finale. In the show, Hardy’s fixer Harry Da Souza is caught between Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren’s warring Harrigan clan. It is grim, brutal, and built on its star power. The Gentlemen is lighter on its feet, with aristocrats behaving badly and jokes landing as often as the punches.

MobLand was a monster out of the gate, becoming Paramount+’s biggest global launch with more than 26 million viewers, yet it still has no Season 3 order (via Paramount Press Express). It also received one criticism that it rarely escapes the familiar gangster playbook. The Gentlemen has none of that noise, and Netflix backed it before a single new episode aired.
