While the characters are different, the series promises to deliver the same biting humor and thrilling criminal escapades, as revealed in the recently released teaser trailer.

The show stars Theo James, known for his role in "The White Lotus," as the Duke of Halstead, Eddie Horniman. Eddie, the estranged son of an English aristocrat, unexpectedly inherits his father's estate, which happens to be part of a vast cannabis empire in London's East End, controlled by career criminal Bobby Glass, played by Ray Winstone. Kaya Scodelario portrays Susie Glass, Bobby's stylish and ruthless daughter, who manages the drug operation. Guy Ritchie takes on multiple roles in the series, serving as the creator, co-writer, executive producer, and director of the first two episodes.

Ritchie expressed his excitement about returning to the world of The Gentlemen and introducing new characters and their stories with the talented cast. The show promises a posh and perilous journey into the criminal underworld of London.

The Gentlemen consists of eight episodes set to premiere in March 2024. The story revolves around Eddie Horniman's attempts to disentangle his family from the clutches of criminal elements in Britain's underworld. As he gets drawn deeper into this world, he starts to develop a taste for the criminal life, blurring the lines between morality and ambition.

The star-studded cast includes Daniel Ings, Joely Richardson, Vinnie Jones, Giancarlo Esposito, Chanel Cresswell, and many others, each contributing their unique talents to bring this intriguing world to life.

Executive producer and creator Guy Ritchie directs the first two episodes and co-writes the series alongside Matthew Read. The show boasts an impressive production team, including Marn Davies, Ivan Atkinson, Marc Helwig for Miramax TV, Will Gould, Frith Tiplady for Moonage Pictures, and series producer Hugh Warren.

The recently released teaser trailer offers viewers a glimpse into Eddie's world, where they can expect to see posh soirees, brutal boxing matches, fast cars, and enigmatic figures tied to chairs in hidden rooms.
