Guy Ritchie welcomes all to the high society in his new gangster action series The Gentlemen. Set to premiere next month, the film is led by The White Lotus star Theo James and gives television audiences a different glimpse of the world Ritchie’s 2020 film of the same name initially brought to life. Not to be confused with the movie, the characters are completely different in the series.
The official Netflix trailer sees James lead the series “as the Duke of Halstead, Eddie Horniman, the estranged son of an English aristocrat who finds himself embroiled in a world of criminality.” The series follows James’ character as he finds himself deep in the world of Bobby Glass’ industrial cannabis empire on the East End of London. Glass is played by Ray Winstone while Kaya Scodelario plays Susie Glass, Bobby’s daughter who handles the day-to-day business of the drug operations.
The series will be eight episodes, giving audiences a chance to meet Eddie Horniman after he inherits his father’s sizable estate, only to discover that it is a major part of a weed empire. Eddie is determined to extricate his family from the criminal underworld and tries to outsmart the gangsters in their own game. The cast also includes Daniel Ings, Joely Richardson, Vinnie Jones, Giancarlo Esposito, Chanel Cresswell, Michael Vu, Max Beelsey, Jasmine Blackborow, Harry Goodwins, Dar Salim, Peare Quigley, Ruby Sear and Peter Serafinowicz.
The Gentlemen, a Guy Ritchie series, lands on Netflix on March 7.
