Netflix's "The Gentlemen" returns for a second season, with producers describing how they balance the show's stylish, aristocratic charm with escalating crime and violence. Created by Guy Ritchie and starring Theo James and Kaya Scodelario, the series has become known for pairing quintessentially British settings, such as stately homes and the London skyline, with a fast-paced criminal plot, and has already been renewed for a third season ahead of the new episodes launching.

Season 2 sees Eddie and Susie expand their operations to Italy to work alongside the Mafia, adding upgraded wardrobes, classic cars and a CGI tiger to the mix, while keeping costs down through in-house tailoring and borrowed props. Producers Jonathan Glickman and Marn Davies (referred to as "Read") describe the show's guiding tone as "reality plus 7%", rising to "8%" with the introduction of a mythical Slavic creature called a Bannik, while promising more action alongside deeper character development as Eddie and Susie's relationship grows more complicated.
