Here are the characters, premise, release date, trailer, and details for one of the most anticipated Netflix series of the year: The Gentlemen.
2019 saw Ritchie return to form with The Gentlemen, a sweary criminal thriller starring Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Hugh Grant, Colin Farrell, and Henry Golding that helped make him a household name.
Since then, the filmmaker has worked on Wrath of Man, Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, and the live-action Hercules remake. But, he is also developing a rare small-screen follow-up.
The Gentlemen Netflix series release date
The Gentlemen will premiere on Netflix on March 7, 2024.
Ritchie has co-written the pilot’s script with Matthew Read and will also direct the first two episodes while serving as an executive producer.
In a statement, Ritchie said: “The world of The Gentlemen is a little bit of me.
“I’m thrilled that with Netflix, Miramax, and Moonage we have this opportunity to inhabit it once again. We’re looking forward to bringing fans back into that world, introducing new characters and their stories and I am excited to be doing it with this extremely talented cast.”

The Gentlemen will be led by Theo James as the show’s main character, Eddie Horniman, “the estranged son of an English aristocrat.”
Other cast members include:
- Vinnie Jones as Geoff Seacombe
- Kaya Scodalerio as Susie Glass
- Giancarlo Esposito as Stanley Johnston
- Daniel Ings as Freddy Halstead
- Joely Richardson as Lady Sabrina
- Peter Serafinowicz
- Max Beesley as Henry Collins
- Harry Goodwins as Jack
- Ruby Sear as Gabrielle
- Ray Winstone as Bobby Glass
Though not directly connected, the show is set in the same universe as the movie, so it’s doubtful that Charlie Hunnam, Hugh Grant, Michelle Dockery’s Rosalind Pearson, or Matthew McConaughey’s Mickey Pearson will make appearances.
