Guy Ritchie’s hit Netflix series The Gentlemen has begun production on its third season, with filming underway in the UK and Morocco. A fresh batch of talent has been added to the ensemble, while some familiar faces and one much-discussed name will be absent.
Joining Theo James and the returning cast are two Lord of the Rings alumni, Orlando Bloom and Elijah Wood, alongside Robert Carlyle (Trainspotting),Dexter Fletcher (who previously collaborated with Ritchie on Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels), Bruna Marquezine (Blue Beetle), Ed Speleers and Saffron Burrows (both known for You), and rapper Bugzy Malone (Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre).
Despite earlier reports, ex-royal Meghan Markle will not appear in the new series.
Theo James continues to lead the show as Eddie Horniman, joined by Kaya Scodelario, Ray Winstone, Joely Richardson, Vinnie Jones, Jasmine Blackborow, Harry Goodwins and Benjamin Clementine all returning. Maya Jama, who debuted in Season 2 as the glamorous and well-connected fixer Aisha will also be back.
Two original regulars will not return. Daniel Ings, who played Eddie’s cocaine-addicted older brother Freddy Horniman, and Giancarlo Esposito, who portrayed American billionaire and drug kingpin Stanley Johnston, are both leaving the series.
Season 3 finds Eddie and Susie embarking on their most audacious scheme yet: building a casino in the Middle East. With danger lurking around every corner, the question is whether the Duke’s unchecked ambition has finally gone too far.
The eight-episode run is written by Guy Ritchie and Matthew Read, directed by Ritchie and Eran Creevy, and produced by Moonage Pictures for Netflix and Miramax TV.
