The Gentlemen cast: Who stars in Guy Ritchie's Netflix drama?
Everything you need to know about the characters and the actors who play them.
The Gentlemen has become one of Netflix's biggest hits of 2024 so far, with the series topping the streamer's most-watched charts consistently since its release on 7th March.
A spin-off of Guy Ritchie's 2020 film of the same name, The Gentlemen stars The White Lotus's Theo James as Eddie Horniman, a soldier who unexpectedly finds himself saddled with a cannabis empire after inheriting his father's country estate and dukedom.
Alongside James, the supporting cast features the likes of Kaya Scodelario, Ray Winstone and Vinnie Jones, who previously worked with Ritchie on Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch.
Speaking to RadioTimes.com about the new series, fellow star Joely Richardson said: "I was sent the script and I was like, 'God, Guy Ritchie, that would be great.'
"I wasn't quite sure, a lot of producers had done Peaky Blinders, so it was a mixture of these worlds of, I say, Downton Abbey and Peaky Blinders all mashed together that I thought was really exciting."
