K.J. Yossman Guy Ritchie series “The Gentlemen” has been renewed for a second season. The show, which stars Theo James and Kaya Scodelario as partners in crime, will return for eight episodes, with James and Scodelario set to reprise their roles as aristocrat Eddie Horniman and drug empire heiress Susie Glass, respectively.
Ritchie will also return as director and writer, alongside co-writer Matthew Read. Further cast will be announced in due course and filming will commence next year.
