Status: Renewed. The Gentlemen will return for Season 3 on Netflix.
Yes — The Gentlemen is coming back. Netflix renewed Guy Ritchie’s crime saga for a third season on August 24, 2026, roughly a week and a half before Season 2 even reached the service. Season 2 arrives on Netflix on September 3, 2026, so the show’s future was locked in before subscribers had watched a single new episode.
The short version
Netflix ordered Season 3 ahead of the Season 2 premiere, an unusual vote of confidence for a platform that normally waits to see viewership before committing to more. The third season is set to run eight episodes, matching the length of the first two, and scripts have already moved into pre-production. No premiere date has been announced yet, and given the roughly two-year gap between the first two seasons, patience is the safe expectation.
Why Netflix renewed The Gentlemen before Season 2 aired
Streaming renewals usually follow the numbers. A show lands, the platform watches how many people finish it, and only then does a second or third season get greenlit. Committing to a new chapter with zero audience data on the season about to drop is rare, and that is exactly what makes this decision notable.
The bet says more about the brand than about any single episode. The Gentlemen is a spin-off of Ritchie’s 2019 feature film of the same name, and since the series debuted in 2024 it has become one of Netflix’s more dependable entries in the stylish-crime lane — British in tone, violent in bursts, and built around a world that can keep generating new schemes. Locking in Season 3 early keeps one of the service’s most recognizable homegrown franchises on the calendar and the creative team assembled rather than scattered to other projects.
When does Season 2 arrive, and how many episodes?
Season 2 lands on Netflix on September 3, 2026, with all eight episodes released at once — the full binge, no weekly rollout. For viewers in the United States that means everything unlocks at Netflix’s standard global drop time of 12:00 a.m. PT / 3:00 a.m. ET.
The new season picks up with Eddie Horniman, the former army captain who inherited a family estate and the criminal empire quietly attached to it. Where Season 1 followed a reluctant heir finding his footing, the second season pushes him further into the business he never asked for, with the consequences landing on everyone around him.
Who is in the cast?
Theo James returns as Eddie Horniman, alongside Kaya Scodelario as Susie Glass, the sharp operator at the center of the family’s drug operation. Guy Ritchie remains attached as a creative force behind the series, preserving the mix of aristocratic scheming, dry British humor, and sudden violence that defined the show from the start. Expect the core of that ensemble to carry into Season 3, though Netflix has not confirmed a full cast list for the next chapter.
When will Season 3 premiere?
Netflix has not set a date. The renewal confirms the season and its eight-episode order, but production timelines for a show of this scale — and the two-year cadence between Seasons 1 and 2 — point toward a wait rather than a quick turnaround. Anyone hoping for Season 3 in 2027 should treat that as a hope, not a schedule: nothing has been announced, and “renewed” is not the same as “coming soon.”

Frequently asked
Has The Gentlemen been canceled?
No. The series is the opposite of canceled — Netflix renewed it for Season 3 on August 24, 2026, before Season 2 was even available to stream.
How many seasons of The Gentlemen are there?
Three are confirmed. Season 1 debuted in 2024, Season 2 arrives September 3, 2026, and Season 3 has been ordered for a future release.
How many episodes is Season 3?
Eight, the same count as each of the first two seasons.
When can I watch Season 3?
No premiere date has been announced. Scripts are in pre-production, and based on the gap between the first two seasons, a significant wait is likely.
Where can I watch The Gentlemen in the United States?
On Netflix. All episodes stream exclusively on the service, which starts at $8.99 per month for the ad-supported plan.
Do I need to watch Season 1 first?
It helps. The series follows Eddie Horniman’s ongoing entanglement with an inherited criminal empire, so starting from the 2024 first season gives the new episodes their full weight.
