To celebrate the release of The Gentlemen, the new Netflix series spin-off from Guy Ritchie’s 2019 film, we sat down with some of its incredible cast to find out more.
THE GENTLEMEN sees Eddie Horniman (Theo James) unexpectedly inherit his father’s sizeable country estate – only to discover it’s part of a cannabis empire. Moreover, a host of unsavoury characters from Britain’s criminal underworld want a piece of the operation. Determined to extricate his family from their clutches, Eddie tries to play the gangsters at their own game. However, as he gets sucked into the world of criminality, he begins to find a taste for it.
In our sit down with the cast, we chat with Theo James, Kaya Scodalerio (Susie Glass), Ray Winstone (Bobby Glass), Daniel Ings (Freddy Halstead), Michael Vu (Jimmy Chang), Max Beesley (Henry Collins), Vinnie Jones (Geoff Seacombe), and Joely Richardson (Lady Sabrina) to find out all things about the lure of the script, British aristocracy, working for Guy Ritchie and why he has such a unique brand of drama and dark comedy, balancing the laughs with the darker edges of the show, how it separates itself from the film, and how some perfectly placed Jammie Dodgers say more about the show and its themes than anything else. And, of course, lots of more in between.

The Gentlemen is streaming on Netflix from March 7th.
