The Gentlemen returned for a second season under Guy Ritchie, with stars Kaya Scodelario and Benedetta Porcaroli speaking to Collider about the show's escalating drama, including a shock death that closes out the run. The season follows Eddie (Theo James) and Susie (Scodelario) as they expand their criminal enterprise into Italy while Eddie also pursues a seat in the House of Lords, only for a betrayal of Bobby (Ray Winstone) to nearly get him killed and for his new marriage to end in tragedy. The interview matters to fans as it offers insight into the actors' interpretation of their characters' fates and hints at where the story goes next.

In the finale, Eddie attempts to reform by marrying Bella (Porcaroli), an Italian countess with mafia connections, but she is killed in a plane explosion shortly after their wedding. Scodelario discussed the enduring ambiguity of Susie and Eddie's relationship, saying their bond has grown organically without becoming romantic, while Porcaroli reflected on Bella's genuine love for Eddie and her prescient fear that something bad would happen. Both actors also touched on Susie's expanding role in the "chop" (cocaine) trade and teased further development of her character in a potential Season 3.
