The Gentlemen Season 2 Filming Start Window Confirmed By Theo James As He Teases "Deeper" Storytelling For Netflix Crime Series
The Gentlemen Season 2 The production start window for The Gentlemen has been revealed by Theo James. The Netflix series, which was created by Guy Ritchie as a spinoff of his 2019 movie of the same name, stars James as Eddie, a man who inherits his father's estate only to learn about his father's secret life running a weed empire, which leaves him embroiled in a world of crime and violence. The Gentlemen season 2 was renewed by Netflix in August 2024, just over five months after its premiere. اضافة اعلان The Hollywood Reporter recently sat down with Theo James while he was promoting his role in the new Osgood Perkins horror movie The Monkey. While discussing his upcoming projects, he revealed that his next project will be the Korean movie The Hole, an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Hye-young Pyun that will be helmed by Kim Jee-woon. However, the next project after that is The Gentlemen season 2, which will begin filming "in the spring," according to James. James promises that the upcoming season will maintain its comic tone, but he and Ritchie are seeking to "evolve the show," which includes "[diving] a little bit deeper in terms of character." Read his full quote below: We are starting that in the spring. I'm going to Korea now to work with a really interesting director called Kim Jee-woon on an adaptation of a Korean novel [The Hole], which I'm really excited about. Then, we start season two of The Gentlemen, which is bigger and darker than season one. I really wanted to — and so did [creator] Guy [Ritchie] — make sure that we evolve the show, and that is the intention. As fun as the first season was, if you do the exact same thing again, it may not be as fun, essentially. (Laughs.) You want to be able to dive a little bit deeper in terms of character. It's still a comedy and it's still fun, but you need to layer it with more depth.

Is there a new Squid Game? Finale sparks US spin-off rumors
ALBAWABA - As one of Netflix's most beloved series comes to an end, the finale of Squid Game has sparked widespread rumors about a potential US spin-off after revealing a specific scene with Cate Blanchett as a recruiter in Los Angeles. Caution: Spoilers regarding Season 3 ahead Squid Game's ending garnered mixed reactions on social media, with several fans deeming it lacking in the character development department and a "cash grab" for a potential sequel. On the contrary, others were satisfied with the ending for its "realistic" outcome. When it came to character development, the most debated character was Detective Hwang Jun-ho, who spent two entire seasons looking for the island where the games took place and his brother (the Front Man Hwang In-ho), only to reach it at the end, and do nothing. Squid Game Season 3 ended in Los Angeles, California, where Hwang In-ho handed over the 45.6 billion won prize money from Season 1 to Seong Gi-hun's daughter, following Gi-hun's controversial death after saving Player 222's baby. The scene then pans out to Hwang In-ho, who rolls down the window to Cate Blanchett, recruiting and brutally slapping a homeless American man in an alleyway while playing the iconic Ddakji game. While many fans were expecting Leonardo DiCaprio to make a cameo in the finale, Cate Blanchett took his spot, sparking excitement on social media for her According to What's on Netflix, rumors about a possible US spin-off started circulating in 2023 with American film director David Fincher (Fight Club) reportedly linked to the project. Scooper DanielRPK revealed on X (formerly Twitter) that the show will not have the 'Squid Game' name attached to it. While nothing has been confirmed by Netflix, scoopers across the internet have been hinting towards a US spin-off for some time. Despite many showcasing excitement about a possible spin-off, many remain sceptical about it, as they showcased concern for the franchise. A social media user wrote on X, "…why? There's already a Squid Game." Another added, "Americans can not see success and want to copy it. Allow the original Squid Game to be the only one ever created. It's so annoying. That's how they copied a successful Japanese anime series recently."

The renowned streaming service took to its socials and wrote to promote the upcoming sequel, "It's time to play the final games. Squid Game Season 3. June 27, only on Netflix." A fan took to Musk's X (formerly known as Twitter) and wrote in excitement, "THIS IS SOO GOOD I CAN'T WAIT." Another added, "STOP SOME OF THESE CLIPS ARE SCARING ME, WHAT IS GONNA HAPPEN." Caution: Spoilers ahead. Squid Game Season 3 receives a new trailer, 'It's time to play the final games' Squid Game season 3 will pick up from where season 2 left off, right after 'Young-il' betrayed his armed rebellion group by killing two allied players, executing those who surrendered, and then proceeded to kill Gi-hun's best friend, Jung-bae, in front of his eyes. While Gi-hun is yet to learn that his new "friend" Young-il is none other than the notorious masked Front Man (Hwang In-ho), fans hope that his identity is revealed at the beginning of season 3. A fan wrote on social media, "It will be interesting to see how Gi-hun picks himself up after experiencing such a traumatic event, especially after finding out that Young-il is the Front Man and is the culprit behind killing his best friend." (Squid Game: Season 3 | Official Teaser | Netflix) This will be the third and final season of Netflix's beloved K-drama. If you are searching for something to scratch the itch for dystopian survival thriller shows, we highly recommend giving Netflix's live-action adaptation of the Japanese manga 'Alice in Borderland' a watch. It's as gripping and intense as Squid Game and offers enough differences to make it stand out from similar shows in the genre.
