Fans of crime comedy can finally head back to the chaotic world of Eddie Horniman. The highly anticipated second season of Guy Ritchie’s hit series, The Gentlemen, officially debuted on Netflix on September 3. The streaming platform released all eight episodes at once, giving viewers the chance to watch the entire new storyline in one go. This season picks up the action as the aristocratic family dives deeper into the criminal underworld to expand their weed business.
The story moves from the English estate to an Italian lake
Eddie Horniman, played by Theo James, is no longer a reluctant heir trying to clean up his family estate. This time around, he is an active boss. He and Susie Glass, played by Kaya Scodelario, are working together as equal partners to grow their criminal operations.
The plot takes a big turn by changing the main location. Instead of just staying at the classic English country house, the story moves to the sunny shores of Lake Maggiore in Italy. This fresh setting brings new rivals and business deals as Eddie tries to take his operation international.
