Netflix confirms The Gentlemen season two as Maya Jama set to join star studded cast
Netflix has confirmed that The Gentlemen is returning for a second season with a number of new famous faces being added to the star studded cast, including Love Island presenter Maya Jama. The Guy Ritchie drama, branded a mashup between Downton Abbey and Peaky Blinders, is based on the director's 2019 film of the same name.
The first season became one of the streaming platform's biggest hits when it dropped in 2024 with Theo James, Kaya Scodelario and Ray Winstone playing the lead roles. The Gentleman sees James and Scodelario play Eddie Halstead and Susie Glass, who are thrust together after James inherits land that's been co-opted by a weed growing empire ran by Susie's father, Bobby Glass, played by Winstone.
Susie is the de facto head of the business while Bobby is in prison. Netflix has confirmed that James, Scodelario and Daniel Ings will all be returning to their roles for the highly anticipated second season.
They will be returning alongside cast members Winstone, Vinnie Jones, Jasmine Blackborow, Michael Vu, Harry Goodwins, Ruby Sear, Pearce Quigley and Giancarlo Esposito.
Meanwhile, Maya Jama is set to be the latest addition to the star studded cast.
The Love Island presenter made her acting debut in Katherine Ryan's Netflix series The Duchess, playing a girl-next door role named Sandra for two episodes.
The Gentlemen is understood to be her second acting role although details about her character in the show are yet to be revealed.
Jama, 30, rose to fame as a DJ on Rinse Fm and a presenter on MTV. She then went on to front award shows and in 2023, she landed the presenting role on ITV'S Love Island.
Also joining the cast for season two will be The Agency star Hugh Bonneville, Dune's Benjamin Clementine, The Leopard's Benedetta Porcaroli, Conclave's Sergio Castellito, Another Simple Favour's Michele Morrone, Tell Me Everything's Tyler Conti and Dune: Part Two's Amra Mallassi.
During the last season, Eddie and Susie's undeniable chemistry was noted by fans, with many enjoying the intense aspect of their relationship.
Other fans recalled a flashback scene in which the pair are seen dancing with their faces extremely close to one another, with many believing Ritchie was subtly hinting at a romantic history between them.
Season two will pick up one year after Eddie and Susan joined forces to team up on Bobby's criminal empire overseas.
As they strive to expand their enterprise, the choices Bobby is making seem to be increasingly unsound, and Eddie and Susie must decide whether to take action or risk losing it all.
Guy Ritchie announced the news of the forthcoming season in a statement which read: 'I am delighted to return to set for season two of The Gentlemen. This chapter sees a deliberate expansion, both geographically and thematically, as we journey from the English countryside to the Italian lakes.'
'Eddie and Susie find themselves navigating an increasingly volatile empire as they're besieged on all fronts by an influx of enigmatic new players.
"The stakes are heightened, the power dynamics are more precarious, and I'm thrilled to be collaborating once again with this exceptional cast and crew.'

Guy Ritchie has footpath diverted around his airfield
Guy Ritchie has had a public footpath that has been in place for more than 130 years diverted around his land. The Hollywood film director changed the direction of the path, which crossed the grass runway at Compton Abbas Airfield in Dorset, which he bought in October 2022. While it is believed the footpath has been in existence since 1888 without any problems or accidents, Ritchie's Ashcombe Estates claimed the diversion was needed on safety grounds. The new path goes around the edge of the airfield and runway and is 1,640ft longer than the established route. Ritchie, 56, requested the change in March, and it has now been officially certified as a legal route. Compton Abbas parish council initially objected to the proposal, arguing it would negatively affect public enjoyment of a long-standing right of way. It said the previous route had good all round visibility and took about four minutes to walk, whereas the new path was more than double the distance. Dorset council unanimously voted to approve the order at a meeting in March and sent it to the Secretary of State for a final decision. The parish council then withdrew its objection, meaning the decision could be rubber-stamped. The airfield is near Ashcombe House, the country estate on the Dorset-Hampshire border, which Ritchie previously shared with Madonna until they divorced in 2008. The celebrity couple had previously tried to prevent access to a large part of their 1,370-acre estate after claiming it had been wrongly classified as 'open country' in 2004. A public inquiry ruled that the public had no access to 15 out of the 17 pockets of land, but two tracts, which amounted to nearly half the disputed area, should be open to the public. The ruling meant walkers would not be able to go within sight of the couple's home. The Ramblers Association said at the time that it was 'delighted that half of the land contested at the public inquiry has been classed as open country'. Ritchie and Jacqui, his second wife, split their time between their London home and Ashcombe. Since buying the airfield, Ritchie has renovated it and started offering Spitfire flight experiences, turning it into a visitor destination with events held throughout the year. He recently opened Lore of the Sky, a smokehouse restaurant, at the site. The changes coincided with the relocation of the test area for aircraft, which is now further away from any public path. The flying community is said to be 'very supportive' of the changes. A spokesman for Dorset council told the BBC: 'The decision at the strategic and technical planning committee was to refer the confirmation of the order to the Secretary of State, this was because we had an objection. 'However, after the meeting, the objection was formally withdrawn and therefore Dorset council was able to confirm the order itself.'
