Moreover, a host of unsavory elements of Britain's criminal underworld want a piece of the operation. Determined to extricate his family from their clutches, Eddie tries to play the gangsters at their own game. However, as he gets sucked into the world of criminality, he begins to find a taste for it."

Netflix Is Pumped About The Gentlemen

Even though The Gentlemen premiered during the pandemic, there was still a great response to then project. Netflix thought highly enough of Ritchie's creation to go-ahead and push this whole concept forward. Unfortunately, the production lost a lot of time due to the pandemic and the stoppages. But, all things are full-steam ahead for a 2024 release. The series creator just wants people to be able to experience The Gentlemen for themselves after all this work has been put in on the back-end.

"The world of 'The Gentlemen' is a little bit of me," Ritchie previously said in a statement. "I'm thrilled that with Netflix, Miramax and Moonage we have this opportunity to inhabit it once again. We're looking forward to bringing fans back into that world, introducing new characters and their stories and I am excited to be doing it with this extremely talented cast."

Where Did The Gentlemen Start?

Miramax has a synopsis for the movie that started it all: "From writer/director Guy Ritchie comes THE GENTLEMEN, a star-studded sophisticated action comedy. THE GENTLEMEN follows American expat Mickey Pearson (Matthew McConaughey) who built a highly profitable marijuana empire in London. When word gets out that he's looking to cash out of the business forever it triggers plots, schemes, bribery and blackmail in an attempt to steal his domain out from under him (featuring an all-star ensemble cast including Charlie Hunnam, Henry Golding, Michelle Dockery, Jeremy Strong, Eddie Marsan, Colin Farrell, and Hugh Grant)."
