“The Gentlemen” has officially been greenlit for Season 3, Variety can confirm.
Guy Ritchie’s high-society, high-octane caper starring Theo James and Kaya Scodelario is set to return for a third outing, comprised of eight episodes. Variety understands that while the new season is in pre-production no scripts have yet been finalized, let alone new casting, despite rumors of Meghan Markle joining. The show is due to go into production imminently.
“The ambition of ‘The Gentlemen’ has accelerated, the world has expanded and the consequences carry weight,” says creator, writer, director and executive producer Guy Ritchie. “A third season felt inevitable, and I’m looking forward to pushing the boundaries of it further.”
Ritchie will also be returning to direct Season 3, which he co-writes with Matthew Read.
The news of the third season comes amid a host of returning season orders for some of Netflix‘s top U.K. shows including “Black Mirror” Season 8, “Legends” Season 2 and “Being Gordon Ramsay” Season 2. Other highly anticipated Netflix U.K. dramas returning for a second season are “Supacell,” “Black Doves” and “House of Guinness.”
