Netflix unveils trailer for The Gentlemen - Guy Ritchie's new gangster series
Netflix has unveiled the first-look trailer for The Gentlemen, a new crime series based on Guy Ritchie’s film of the same name. While set in the same world as Ritchie’s 2019 gangster film, Netflix’s upcoming drama will centre on a host of new characters and follow a brand-new, original storyline.
Netflix has revealed that the series will follow Eddie Horniman – the estranged son of an English aristocrat – as he inherits his father’s sizeable estate only to discover it’s part of a cannabis empire. Eddie is determined to free his family from the clutches of a host of shady characters from the criminal underworld who are all vying for a piece of the action.
To do this, Eddie tries to play the gangsters at their own game, but as he gets sucked into the world of criminality, he soon develops a taste for it. The series boasts a stacked ensemble cast led by The White Lotus star Theo James as Eddie, the Duke of Halstead.

The Gentleman was another hit for Ritchie, who made a name for himself with his iconic brand of British gangster film with films like Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. The Matthew McConaughey-led film grossed more than $155 million worldwide against a $22 million budget, while Netflix officially greenlit a spin-off series in 2022.
Netflix dropped the first teaser trailer on Monday (January 15), which shows just a hint of the series’ bloody world and Ritchie’s expanded vision of England’s criminal underbelly. Ritchie directs the opening two episodes while serving as executive producer and co-writer alongside Peaky Blinders’ Matthew Read.
Speaking to Netflix in November, Ritchie said: “The world of The Gentlemen is a little bit of me. 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.”
