The Gentlemen confirms new cast additions for season 2 on Netflix – including Downton Abbey and 365 Days stars
Season 2 is on its way, with a few new faces confirmed.
Netflix has confirmed new cast additions for season 2 of gangster hit The Gentlemen, which has officially begun filming.
The streamer released a picture of creator Guy Ritchie on set to celebrate.
The famed director's foray into streaming saw down-on-his-luck aristocrat Eddie (Theo James) team up with weed empire heiress Susie (Kaya Scodelario).
More colourful characters are joining them this time around, including Downton Abbey's Hugh Bonneville and Michele Morrone, who starred in notorious Netflix hit 365 days.
Another name viewers will recognise is Maya Jama, who has been added alongside Benjamin Clementine (Dune), Benedetta Porcaroli (The Leopard), Sergio Castellitto (Conclave), Amra Mallassi (Hijack) and Tyler Conti (Safe).
As for who they'll be playing, the streamer has yet to release details.
Season 1's Daniel Ings is back as Eddie's older brother, Freddy, alongside Giancarlo Esposito as American billionaire Stanley Johnston.
Ray Winstone also returns as gangland patriarch, and Susie's father, Bobby Glass, as do Vinnie Jones as gamekeeper Geoffrey Seacombe and Joely Richardson as Lady Sabrina.
Jasmine Blackborow, Michael Vu, Harry Goodwins, Ruby Sear and Pearce Quigley round out the cast.
In a statement released by Netflix, Ritchie teased what's to come for the gang, including a change of location.
"I am delighted to return to set for season 2 of The Gentlemen. This chapter sees a deliberate expansion, both geographically and thematically, as we journey from the English countryside to the Italian lakes," he said.
He added: "Eddie and Susie find themselves navigating an increasingly volatile empire as they’re besieged on all fronts by an influx of enigmatic new players.
"The stakes are heightened, the power dynamics are more precarious, and I’m thrilled to be collaborating once again with this exceptional cast and crew."
